QINETIQ Limited is currently managing 4 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 4 actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners. This creates a matching count where each of the 4 pending office actions is reviewed by a different individual. The portfolio is also spread across 4 distinct art units, ensuring that each matter is handled in a separate administrative division.
OLAEGBE, MUDASIRU K is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. This confirms that the 4 pending office actions are evenly distributed, as no examiner handles more than 1 action. Because OLAEGBE, MUDASIRU K is one of 4 distinct examiners each managing a single case, there is no concentration of work with any one person. This decentralized structure across 4 distinct art units suggests that the company's success depends on four independent reviews.
The involvement of 4 distinct art units for 4 actions suggests that the company's Chemistry & Materials innovations are classified into four separate technical groups. With OLAEGBE, MUDASIRU K and the other examiners each managing 1 action, the prosecution is highly varied. This variety in examiners and art units indicates that the 4 pending office actions involve different technical or administrative reviews within the field.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
