Taesan Industrial Corporation is managing a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio currently holds 1 pending office action, which indicates a focused stage of prosecution. This level of activity suggests that the company is either in the early phases of building its patent holdings or is maintaining a very lean set of active applications in the chemistry sector.
The prosecution involves 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. This high degree of concentration means that the company's current patenting efforts are subject to the review of a single administrative group. Such a structure can lead to a very consistent prosecution experience, as the company does not have to reconcile different examination styles or conflicting requirements from multiple art units or examiners for the 1 pending office action.
The busiest examiner, WORRELL, KEVIN, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This matches the total of 1 pending office action for the entire portfolio, placing the outcome of the company's current prosecution entirely in the hands of this one examiner. Practitioners should tailor their arguments to the specific preferences of this examiner to successfully resolve the 1 pending office action.
