VGP IPCO LLC is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are assigned to 2 distinct examiners and are located within the same number of distinct art units. This distribution shows that each of the company's active cases is being reviewed by a different examiner in a different technical group.
The busiest examiner identified is OLADAPO, TAIWO, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because there are the pending office actions and the distinct examiners, the workload is split, with each examiner handling 1 case. This lack of concentration means that no single individual or art unit has a majority influence over the current pending portfolio.
Practitioners should note that the distinct art units indicate a variety of technical focuses even within the Chemistry & Materials field. With the examiners involved, the prosecution of these actions will require navigating separate sets of examiner preferences and art unit practices. The role of OLADAPO, TAIWO is limited to just one of these active matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.

| §103 only | 1 (50%) |
