BOLDEN, ELIZABETH A is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending action currently on her docket. As the sole examiner for the company's active cases, her specific review style is the primary factor in the prosecution timeline. The use of 1 distinct art unit suggests that the Chemistry & Materials claims are being evaluated within a specific technical group.

There is no need to balance multiple sets of feedback from different art units. This active filing represents the current state of the company's active engagement with the patent office.
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.
