SAS Woodoo currently has 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This active matter is situated in 1 distinct art unit, indicating a specific technical focus for the company's current filings. The prosecution involves 1 distinct examiner, meaning the company's immediate success is tied to a single individual's review. This concentration suggests that the entity is focusing its intellectual property efforts on a specific chemical innovation.
SWANSON, ANDREW L is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, responsible for 1 pending office action. This examiner is the only official currently reviewing the company's pending work. For the practitioner, this means the prosecution strategy is entirely focused on addressing the specific concerns of this one examiner. The data shows a concentrated profile with 1 pending action, 1 examiner, and 1 art unit involved in the current cycle. With only 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, the outcome of the current filing depends on a single set of technical and legal interpretations at 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. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
