Sumitomo Electric Wintec Inc. 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 the company's chemical filings are being reviewed by different individuals in separate technical classifications. Practitioners must manage multiple examiner relationships to address the 2 pending office actions currently active.
The busiest examiner is MAYY, MOHAMMAD, who is currently handling 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is split evenly between the 2 distinct examiners. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the technical scope of the 2 pending actions is diverse enough to fall into different chemistry categories. This decentralized structure for the 2 pending office actions requires a coordinated approach across the 2 distinct art units and examiners involved.
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.
