Tomorrow Water has 1 pending office action in Chemistry & Materials. The matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. MENON, KRISHNAN S is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter, placing the current prosecution activity within one examination channel.
The response can be developed through a focused review of the chemistry and materials claims, technical disclosure, and cited record. Counsel can use a direct examiner-specific strategy without managing multiple art-unit relationships. Claim amendments should be limited to supported distinctions and should preserve consistent terminology for any later prosecution activity involving the same technical subject matter.
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.
