Societe Des Produits N Éstlé S A has a patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. There is currently 1 pending office action associated with this portfolio. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located in 1 distinct art unit, showing a very specific focus for the company's current prosecution efforts.
The busiest examiner for the company is HURST, JONATHAN M, who is handling 1 pending office action. The fact that the portfolio is active in 1 distinct art unit indicates that the current filing falls within a particular technical classification in the Chemistry & Materials sector, requiring specialized examiner review.
Because there is only 1 pending office action and 1 distinct examiner, the company's current interactions with the patent office are limited to a single point of contact. Practitioners can concentrate their strategy on the specific requirements of HURST, JONATHAN M to resolve the only active matter. This streamlined communication is beneficial for maintaining a clear prosecution path.
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.
