4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Xetos AG currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 4 pending office actions are spread across 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, which indicates a relatively high volume of activity for a portfolio of this size. For the practitioner, managing 4 pending office actions requires careful coordination across the different examiners. The Chemistry & Materials technology area often involves complex technical requirements, and the presence of multiple pending actions suggests an active effort to secure patent protection for various innovations within the company's portfolio.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is ANGEBRANNDT, MARTIN J, who is responsible for 3 busiest examiner pending actions. This means that 3 busiest examiner pending actions are concentrated with a single examiner, making ANGEBRANNDT, MARTIN J the most influential figure in the company's current prosecution. The remaining workload is handled by the other examiner, but the primary focus for the practitioner should be on the preferences and patterns of ANGEBRANNDT, MARTIN J. Navigating the 2 distinct art units will also be necessary, but the high concentration of 3 busiest examiner pending actions with one examiner allows for a more unified strategy for the majority of the pending workload.
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 | 1 (25%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
