Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
The Board Of Regents Of The Nevada System Of Higher Education On Behalf Of The University Of Nevada manages 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct art units, showing a diverse range of chemical research.
The portfolio is handled by distinct examiners for each case. The busiest examiner, GROOMS, NOA WILLIAM FRAN, is responsible for 1 pending office action. This 1 pending office action represents the entirety of the workload for each examiner currently engaged with the university's filings.
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 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
