Utility Global Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to a single examiner, WILKINS III, HARRY D. This concentration indicates that the company's current patent applications are being reviewed by a single specialist within the chemistry division.
The company's prosecution is highly consolidated, featuring 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit. WILKINS III, HARRY D is the busiest examiner, managing 2 pending office actions. This level of concentration can be advantageous, as it allows the applicant to develop a consistent rapport and strategy with a single examiner for the entire pending portfolio.
Because a distinct examiner is handling all pending office actions, the company may experience more predictable outcomes across its filings. This concentration in a distinct art unit also simplifies the management of the portfolio's prosecution. Effectively addressing the examiner's feedback will be crucial for the successful resolution of the pending office actions currently under review.
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.
