Ses Holdings Pte. Ltd. is managing 3 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and a trio of distinct art units. This direct ratio across these metrics suggests that each pending matter is being reviewed independently in a different administrative unit, requiring a unique technical approach for each application.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is Baum, Zachary John, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are multiple pending office actions in total, no single examiner handles the bulk of the company's current workload. This distribution ensures that the prosecution of each application is subject to the specific insights of an individual examiner and art unit. This decentralized arrangement can be beneficial as it prevents a single examiner's bottleneck from delaying the entire active portfolio, though it requires managing separate prosecution tracks simultaneously.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
