3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Smart Planet Technologies Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. Those matters are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating that the current prosecution work spans separate examination assignments rather than a single concentrated queue.
MINSKEY, JACOB T is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The even distribution means counsel should track each application and examiner separately, while maintaining consistent positions on recurring claim scope, amendments, and technical evidence.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (33%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
