2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Sunallomer Ltd. is navigating 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. SHAH, SAMIR is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, meaning the current workload is evenly divided between the two assigned reviewers. This distribution suggests a lack of examiner concentration, which may lead to varied prosecution experiences across the portfolio.
The 2 distinct art units involved indicate that while the portfolio is centered on Chemistry & Materials, it touches upon different technical niches. For a practitioner, this means that there is no single examiner whose historical data will dominate the outcome of the current docket. The presence of 2 distinct examiners requires a flexible prosecution strategy that can adapt to the different standards and practices of these various individuals.
With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct art units, the company's innovations are being reviewed by different specialized groups within the USPTO. This breadth suggests that the Chemistry & Materials focus covers multiple sub-specialties. The 2 distinct examiners ensure that the 2 pending office actions are each given an independent look, reducing the risk that a single examiner's bias could affect both of the company's active applications.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 1 (50%) |
