Negative Emissions Materials Inc. is handling 1 pending office action in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, LACLAIR, LOGAN EDWARD, who is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action. The matter is being prosecuted in 1 distinct art unit, indicating a focused effort.
The company's current patent activity involves 1 pending office action, which is reviewed by 1 distinct examiner. This indicates a highly focused prosecution effort with a single individual and a single administrative unit involved in the pending matter. LACLAIR, LOGAN EDWARD is the sole point of contact, meaning his specific examination preferences will determine the outcome of the filing.
Managing 1 pending office action in 1 distinct art unit simplifies the administrative tracking of the portfolio. However, the lack of multiple matters means there is no diversification of risk across different examiners or units. The strategy for this 1 pending office action must be entirely tailored to the feedback provided by LACLAIR, LOGAN EDWARD to ensure a successful prosecution in the Chemistry & Materials area.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
