2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 6 patents granted in the last 365 days
Perimeter Solutions LP is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are both contained within 1 distinct art unit, indicating that the 2 pending actions are both located within 1 distinct art unit. This arrangement allows for a unified technical approach within the art unit while requiring the practitioner to adapt to the specific feedback of 2 different examiners.
The busiest examiner, TOOMER, CEPHIA D, is handling 1 pending office action. With 2 pending actions and 2 distinct examiners, the workload is divided so that each examiner is responsible for 1 pending action within the single art unit identified for the company. This distribution of 1 action per examiner across the portfolio's current activity provides a balanced prosecution environment within the Chemistry & Materials sector.
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.
