Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
4 pending office actions • 4 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Sekisui Polymatech Co. Ltd. manages a patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. There are currently 4 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating diversification in the company's prosecution efforts. This variety of assignments suggests that the company's applications cover a range of materials science topics, each falling under the jurisdiction of a different specialized group at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is BISTANY-RIEBMAN, JOSHUA PAGE, who is handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. This distribution means that each of the 4 pending office actions is assigned to a different examiner. The presence of 4 distinct art units shows that the company's technology is being reviewed by several different specialized groups. This decentralized approach requires a management strategy to ensure that arguments made in one art unit do not negatively impact the prosecution of related applications in another.
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 | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
