Soulbrain Co., Ltd. has 14 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 11 distinct examiners across 8 art units, showing repeated examiner and art-unit assignments within a distributed portfolio.
SCHWARTZ, PHILIP N is associated with 3 pending matters, making that examiner a recurring point of activity. Counsel can develop continuity for those matters while maintaining separate strategies for the other examiner assignments.
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 (21%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (79%) |
