Sabanci Universitesi manages 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners but are located within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that both examiners are working within the same specialized group at the patent office. The concentration in 1 distinct art unit implies that the university's pending applications share a closely related technical focus within the Chemistry & Materials field.
MENDOZA, WILSON GALLARDO is the busiest examiner for the university, handling 1 pending office action. With 2 distinct examiners for 2 pending actions, the workload is split evenly between the assigned personnel. This means that while the technical group is the same, the university must address the individual perspectives of 2 different examiners. This structure provides some consistency in the technical standards applied to the 2 pending actions while requiring separate strategies for each of the examiners involved.
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 | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
