Schneider GmbH & Co. Kg has 4 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are distributed among 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, so each matter follows a separate examination assignment.
AKANBI, ISIAKA O is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should prepare four examiner-specific response tracks and avoid relying on a single portfolio-wide approach.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 | 3 (75%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
