Nutromics Technology Pty Ltd. operates in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company has 3 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating a focus on specific chemical or material science categories. Having 3 pending office actions within 2 distinct art units suggests a relatively narrow but active technical focus for the company's current patent filings in the Chemistry & Materials sector.
The prosecution involves 3 distinct examiners. Shizhi Qian is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. With 3 distinct examiners for 3 pending office actions, each matter is being reviewed by a different individual across the 2 distinct art units. This arrangement ensures that each of the 3 pending office actions is receiving independent review from a separate examiner, with Shizhi Qian being one of the three officials currently assigned to evaluate the company's technology.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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%) |
