Variowell Development GmbH currently manages 2 pending office actions within the Chemistry and Materials technology area. These 2 pending office actions are distributed across 2 distinct examiners. Furthermore, the prosecution is taking place in 2 distinct art units. The presence of 2 distinct art units indicates that the company's applications are being reviewed in different technical departments at the USPTO. This requires a strategy that can adapt to the specific requirements of 2 distinct art units.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is GAITONDE, MEGHA MEHTA, who is assigned 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This 1 busiest examiner pending action is less than the total of 2 pending office actions for the company. Because there are 2 distinct examiners involved, the applicant must manage interactions with different individuals. The 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry and Materials area show the current scope of the company's active prosecution. Having 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units means the feedback received may vary across the different cases.
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.
