TurnCare, Inc. currently has 7 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 7 actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This concentration suggests that multiple applications are being reviewed by the same individuals and within the same technical groups. BOWMAN, ANDREW J is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 3 pending office actions.
The 3 pending office actions assigned to BOWMAN, ANDREW J represent a portion of the 7 pending actions in the company's active prosecution. The remaining pending actions are split among the other 4 distinct examiners. With only 3 distinct art units handling the 7 pending actions, practitioners can expect to encounter consistent technical standards and examination trends across the portfolio. The influence of BOWMAN, ANDREW J is particularly noteworthy, as this examiner oversees 3 of the 7 current pending matters in Chemistry & Materials.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 4 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
