Solarcycle Inc. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are split between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each of the 2 pending office actions is being reviewed by a unique official in a unique technical group. The presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's chemistry and materials research covers multiple specialized classifications within the patent office. Practitioners should note that each pending matter requires a separate engagement strategy.
KONVES, ADRIANNA N is the busiest examiner for the company, with 1 pending office action currently under review. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for the 2 pending office actions, each person is responsible for only one matter. This lack of concentration means that the outcome of one action is unlikely to influence the other. Practitioners should prepare for 2 different sets of examiner expectations across the 2 distinct art units involved. The focus on the Chemistry & Materials technology area provides the only common technical link between the 2 pending office actions. This decentralized prosecution structure requires a tailored strategy for each of the 2 distinct examiners currently managing the portfolio.
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.
