Tecan Trading AG has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The docket spans 6 examiners and 4 art units, indicating broad examiner distribution across a smaller set of art-unit assignments.
HERBERT, MADISON TAYLOR is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because no listed examiner handles more than that matter, counsel should maintain separate examiner-level tracking while coordinating matters that share art-unit assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (67%) |
