Shanghai Sunlight Innov Trading Co. Ltd. is managing 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners working in 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's chemical filings are being reviewed by different individuals in separate technical classifications. Practitioners must manage multiple examiner relationships to address the 2 pending office actions currently active.
GERLA, STEPHANIE RAE is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is split evenly between the 2 distinct examiners. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the technical scope of the 2 pending actions is diverse enough to fall into different chemistry categories. This decentralized structure for the 2 pending office actions requires a coordinated approach across the 2 distinct art units and examiners 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.
