Peter Engelhardt is currently managing 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This single active matter defines the current prosecution profile for the portfolio. The examination is handled by 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting a very specific technical focus.
The examiner assigned to this matter is CHOI, PETER Y, who is also identified as the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because the 1 pending office action is the only one listed, CHOI, PETER Y is responsible for the entirety of the active portfolio. This concentration means that the prosecution strategy must be tailored to the specific patterns and requirements of this individual.
For a practitioner, this concentration in 1 distinct art unit simplifies the technical focus required for response preparation. However, it also means that the success of the current prosecution cycle depends on the interactions within this specific art unit. Monitoring the procedural preferences of CHOI, PETER Y is essential, as the data does not list other active matters to provide a broader context for the portfolio's standing at the patent office.
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.
