Omega SA has 5 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, showing separate examiner assignments with some concentration among the technical units.
COLLINS, JASON M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel may obtain more portfolio-level value from monitoring the 4 art units than from managing a recurring examiner relationship. Individual responses remain necessary for each application.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
