Pursell Agri-Tech LLC has 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, placing each application in a separate examination channel.
LANGEL, WAYNE A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should review the two actions independently, including the cited technology, claim construction, and amendment options relevant to each art unit. Consistent agricultural and chemistry terminology can support alignment across the portfolio, but the data does not identify an examiner whose approach governs both pending matters.
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.
