Pegavision Corporation is currently managing 5 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. This distribution between actions, examiners, and art units indicates a diverse range of technical subject matter or a broad filing strategy within the Chemistry & Materials sector. The lack of overlap between examiners and art units suggests that each of the 5 pending office actions represents a unique technical challenge.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is CHOUDHURY, MUSTAK, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Given that there are 5 pending office actions in total, the workload is spread across multiple individuals, with no examiner handling more than 1 case. The involvement of 5 distinct art units suggests that the company's patent applications are being reviewed by several different specialized groups at the patent office. Practitioners must coordinate across these 5 distinct examiners to ensure consistent prosecution results for Pegavision Corporation. This decentralized structure requires a versatile strategy to address the varied requirements of the different art units involved in the Chemistry & Materials area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
