Queen Ceramic Incorporation has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners and are located in 2 distinct art units. OMORI, MARY I is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending action. This distribution shows that each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a different individual in a different specialized art unit.
For a ceramic company, this means that prosecution strategies must be customized for each specific examiner. The total of 2 pending actions indicates a focused but limited current engagement with the patent office. Because the actions are split between 2 distinct art units, there is no shared administrative path for these matters. Practitioners should analyze the specific tendencies of OMORI, MARY I and the other assigned examiner separately. The focus on Chemistry & Materials aligns with the company's core business, but the small number of 2 pending office actions suggests a selective approach to current patent filings. The lack of examiner overlap ensures that each case is evaluated on its own merits without influence from the other pending matter. This requires a precise and well-researched response to each of the 2 pending actions.
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.
