5 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
The Live Green Group, Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio spans 5 distinct examiners but only 2 distinct art units, indicating that examiner variation is greater than art-unit variation.
SILVERMAN, JANICE Y is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. This creates a limited point of examiner concentration within a broader examiner distribution. Counsel may benefit from comparing responses involving that examiner while separately addressing the two art-unit contexts.
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 | 1 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
