Redwood Materials Inc. currently has 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are assigned to 3 distinct examiners. The prosecution activity is distributed across distinct art units. These counts show that every pending matter is handled by a different reviewer in a different administrative unit. This distribution provides a variety of examiner perspectives and reduces the concentration of risk within the portfolio.
FORRY, COLTON BUSA is the busiest examiner for the company and is responsible for 1 pending office action. This busiest examiner pending count of 1 is less than the total workload. Because the pending office actions are split among the assigned staff, the company's success does not depend on a single reviewer. Practitioners must manage different examination styles across the distinct examiners and art units. This arrangement requires a strategy that accounts for the specific requirements of each assigned reviewer. The current prosecution profile is characterized by this distribution of matters across the staff.
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.
