Picosun OY manages 5 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 5 actions are distributed across distinct examiners and distinct art units, indicating that each pending matter is being prosecuted in a unique environment. This total lack of overlap among the personnel and units suggests a diverse range of subject matter or a highly fragmented assignment process within the Chemistry & Materials area.
WEDDLE, ALEXANDER MARION is the busiest examiner, though they are responsible for only 1 pending office action. The total of 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units for the filings suggests a highly diverse portfolio where no cases share the same examiner or art unit oversight. Practitioners must develop separate approaches to address the 5 pending office actions, as the different units will each have their own specific examination cultures. This distribution means that no single individual's tendencies will significantly impact the overall portfolio.
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 | 1 (20%) |
