Sacmi Imola S C currently manages 1 pending office action. This activity is focused in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. With 1 pending office action, the company's current patent prosecution efforts are concentrated on a specific matter rather than a broad array of simultaneous filings.
The examination is conducted by 1 distinct examiner who operates within 1 distinct art unit. HAUTH, GALEN H is the busiest examiner for this portfolio and is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 to 1 relationship between the examiner and the pending action centralizes the technical review within the Chemistry & Materials sector.
The reliance on 1 distinct examiner within 1 distinct art unit means that the prosecution strategy is highly dependent on the specific interpretations of HAUTH, GALEN H. For a company in the Chemistry & Materials field, this 1 pending office action requires a focused response to the specific requirements of the assigned official. The lack of multiple distinct examiners simplifies the administrative tracking of the portfolio but increases the impact of the decisions made by HAUTH, GALEN H.
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.
