1 pending office actions • 0 art units • 1 examiners • 0 of 1 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Suzano S.A. currently has 1 pending office action under review by the USPTO. This single action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, SIMONE, CATHERINE A, who is responsible for the 1 pending office action. This indicates a very focused prosecution effort with only one active matter currently requiring attention. Practitioners should focus on the specific examination style of SIMONE, CATHERINE A, as this individual is the sole point of contact for the company's current pending patent application. The lack of multiple pending matters means that this active case represents the entirety of the company's immediate interaction with the patent office.
Because there is only 1 distinct examiner involved, the prosecution strategy is entirely dependent on the individual tendencies of the assigned official. The presence of 0 distinct art units suggests that the application may be in a preliminary stage or has not yet been assigned to a specific technical group. For the practitioner, this means the 1 pending matter is the sole priority, and success depends on meeting the specific standards of the examiner. This concentrated profile requires a highly tailored approach to the single active case.
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.
