Sun Chemical B V has 2 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are handled by 2 distinct examiners in 2 distinct art units, so the active record requires coordination across separate examination assignments.
FREEMAN, JOHN D is the busiest listed examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should track each response independently while checking that amendments and technical positions remain consistent across the company’s chemistry and materials work.
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.
