2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Sterile State LLC has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners but are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit.
EOM, ROBERT J is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. This suggests that while different examiners are reviewing the cases, they are operating within the same specialized group at the patent office.
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.
