Shenzhen Soocas Technology Co. Ltd. has 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating a range of chemical or material applications that are being reviewed independently. The lack of overlap between the 4 distinct examiners means that the company must manage four separate prosecution tracks simultaneously.
BERGNER, ERIN FLANAGAN is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. Since each of the 4 pending office actions is assigned to a different examiner, no single individual has a dominant role in the company's current patent outcomes. The involvement of 4 distinct art units further emphasizes the technical variety of the filings, as each unit likely focuses on a different sub-sector of chemistry or materials. Practitioners should expect 4 different sets of examiner preferences and timelines for these active matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
