Rec Solar Pte. Ltd. is currently prosecuting matters in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio includes 3 pending office actions, which are spread among 3 distinct examiners. This distribution indicates that each examiner is handling a separate matter, as the busiest examiner, MOWLA, GOLAM, is responsible for 1 pending office action.
While there are 3 distinct examiners, the pending office actions are concentrated within 2 distinct art units. This suggests some technical overlap, as at least 2 of the matters are likely within the same art unit. The presence of the pending office actions across 2 distinct art units requires a coordinated approach to ensure consistency in technical arguments.
For the practitioner, the involvement of the distinct examiners means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to different individuals. The busiest examiner pending count of 1 confirms that no single examiner dominates the current workload. This balanced distribution requires monitoring separate prosecution timelines for the 3 pending office actions.
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 (33%) |
