Science Lab 3 Inc. is currently managing 2 pending office actions. These matters are situated in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio is spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating that each of the 2 pending office actions is being examined in a different technical group. Prosecution involves 2 distinct examiners. SARANTAKOS, KAYLA ROSE is the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending action.
This means that each of the 2 pending office actions is assigned to a different individual, requiring separate prosecution strategies. The presence of 2 distinct art units within Chemistry & Materials suggests a diverse range of technical issues for such a small number of actions. Because there are 2 distinct examiners, practitioners cannot rely on a single point of contact. The 1 busiest examiner pending action for SARANTAKOS, KAYLA ROSE highlights that the workload is evenly distributed between the 2 distinct examiners. This distribution necessitates a tailored approach for each of the 2 pending office actions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (50%) |
| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
