Streck Inc. manages a patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio currently has 4 pending office actions, which are distributed among 4 distinct examiners. This distribution suggests a diverse range of technical inquiries or a broad application of the company's core technology. Furthermore, the work is spread across 4 distinct art units, indicating that the portfolio's subject matter spans multiple specialized examination groups at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for Streck Inc. is GORDON, BRIAN R, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Although GORDON, BRIAN R is the busiest, the workload is evenly distributed among the 4 distinct examiners. This distribution reduces the impact of any specific examiner's tendencies on the overall portfolio. Practitioners should prepare for varied prosecution styles given the involvement of 4 distinct art units.
The current activity within the Chemistry & Materials sector highlights an active phase of patent acquisition. Because each action is in a different art unit, the company must navigate the specific requirements of multiple examination environments. This complexity requires a versatile legal approach to ensure consistency across the various technical disclosures being reviewed by the USPTO officials.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
