Teledyne Scientific & Imaging LLC maintains a portfolio focused on Chemistry & Materials with 3 pending office actions currently under review. The distribution of these matters across 3 distinct examiners suggests a lack of examiner concentration. This variety in examiner assignment requires the applicant to navigate different individual preferences and prosecution styles simultaneously.
The workload spans 2 distinct art units, reflecting a degree of technological specialization within the broader Chemistry & Materials field. ALEXANDER, WILLIAM R is identified as the busiest examiner, though this individual is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. This parity between the busiest examiner and the rest of the assigned staff indicates a balanced distribution of the company's active legal matters across the patent office's technical divisions. For the applicant, this means each specific case is handled by a different professional, requiring a case by case approach to prosecution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
