Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Synthomer Sdn. Bhd. currently has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 2 actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners but are located within 1 distinct art unit. This indicates that while the technical field is consistent, the review is being conducted by different individuals. The art unit suggests a unified technical focus for the pending office actions.
PAK, HANNAH J is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Since there are 2 distinct examiners for the actions, each examiner is handling a portion of the pending matters. This distribution ensures that no single examiner dominates the current prosecution pipeline.
Practitioners should note that the 2 pending actions require coordination with different examiners despite being in the same art unit. The 2 pending office actions represent the total active workload for the portfolio. This concentration within the 1 distinct art unit simplifies the technical scope of the current prosecution.
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.

| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
