Setolas Holdings Inc. currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are split between 2 distinct examiners, showing a lack of concentration in a single administrative channel. DAVIS, SHENG HAN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 1 pending office action.
The workload also spans a set of distinct art units, which indicates that the company's applications in Chemistry & Materials are being evaluated by different specialized groups within the patent office. Because multiple examiners are involved, the prosecution strategy must account for different individual approaches to the pending actions. The distribution of matters suggests that the workload is balanced among the assigned examination staff, with DAVIS, SHENG HAN responsible for exactly 1 of the current pending office actions. This spread across different art units and examiners suggests a diverse technical footprint within the specified technology area.
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.
