Patient Knowhow Inc. has 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, leaving no visible concentration in one examination channel. Counsel should prepare separate responses while using portfolio-level review to identify consistent terminology and disclosure positions.
SLAUGOVSKY, RACHEL MARIE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. That limited concentration means the current workload is better managed through matter-specific analysis than through a single examiner playbook. Art-unit differences should remain part of the response assessment.
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.
