Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
6 pending office actions • 4 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 6 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
SK Leaveo Co. Ltd. currently manages 6 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's patent strategy involves multiple specialized technical groups within the patent office. The portfolio involves 5 distinct examiners, suggesting that the company must navigate a variety of individual examination styles and preferences even within its primary technology sector. This distribution across 4 distinct art units requires a strategy that accounts for the specific guidelines of these groups.
LYNDA SALVATORE is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 2 pending office actions. This concentration means that 2 of the 6 total pending actions are under the review of this examiner. Practitioners should monitor the specific requirements of the art units to ensure consistency across the company's Chemistry & Materials filings, as the involvement of 5 distinct examiners requires a coordinated approach to maintain uniform claim construction and arguments. Managing the workload across the examiners ensures that the company's prosecution risk is not concentrated on any individual.
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 | 3 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
