Nitricity Inc. is currently managing 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, which indicates that every pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This ratio of examiners to actions suggests a broad spread of the company's technical disclosures across different examination styles.
The portfolio is active across 3 distinct art units, meaning the 3 distinct examiners are all housed within different groups. MILLER, JR, JOSEPH ALBERT is identified as the busiest examiner, currently holding 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because the 3 pending office actions are split among 3 different people, MILLER, JR, JOSEPH ALBERT shares the workload with the other examiners.
For those overseeing this portfolio, the presence of 3 distinct art units for 3 pending office actions requires attention to different procedural nuances. The 3 distinct examiners provide separate points of contact, which can lead to varied prosecution timelines. The 1 busiest examiner pending action for MILLER, JR, JOSEPH ALBERT represents a portion of the total pending volume for the company 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
