3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Seeo2 Energy Inc. has 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. JEBUTU, MOFOLUWASO SIMILOLUWA is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that the company's current patent workload is spread across multiple examiners, even within a small number of art units.
With 3 pending office actions handled by 3 distinct examiners, the portfolio benefits from multiple independent reviews. The concentration within 2 distinct art units suggests that while the examiners vary, the technical focus remains relatively consistent across the portfolio. Practitioners should monitor the progress of all 3 pending office actions to identify any common themes or objections raised by the different examiners. This cross-case analysis can help in developing a more robust prosecution strategy that addresses the specific requirements of the 2 distinct art units 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.
