Superc-Touch Corporation manages a patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area, currently featuring 3 pending office actions. These matters are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, showing a varied assignment of the company's legal matters across different individuals. All current prosecution activity is concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, which implies that while different examiners are involved, they all operate within the same specialized technical group at the patent office.
The busiest examiner is NGUYEN, LAUREN, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution indicates that each of the 3 distinct examiners is handling exactly one of the company's pending matters. The focus on the Chemistry & Materials technology area within 1 distinct art unit suggests a cohesive but multi-pronged prosecution strategy. By engaging 3 distinct examiners for the available filings, the company ensures that each application receives individual attention from a different official, even as they remain within a single art unit.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
