Tesa SE has 9 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 6 examiners across 4 art units, indicating a diversified workload with variation at both examiner and unit levels.
DUCHENEAUX, FRANK D is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. This examiner is a useful coordination point, but the broader portfolio still calls for separate tracking of issues arising before the other examiners and art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
