Sintx Technologies Inc. currently has 1 pending office action within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This prosecution activity is situated in 1 distinct art unit. The company's portfolio involves 1 distinct examiner, which provides a focused scope of interaction with the patent office for the current filings.
BOWMAN, ANDREW J is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action assigned. This examiner's workload accounts for the entirety of the company's current pending status. The 1 distinct examiner is the only official currently reviewing the 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 individual assigned, the company's current prosecution experience is limited to the interactions with this official.
The 1 distinct art unit indicates that the subject matter falls within a specific technical domain of Chemistry & Materials. Having 1 pending office action across 1 distinct examiner simplifies the management of the portfolio. Practitioners can focus their efforts on the specific art unit where the review is being conducted to advance the company's intellectual property goals. The 1 distinct art unit remains the sole environment for all current prosecution activity.
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.
