AGC Inc. has 125 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio spans 96 distinct examiners and 50 distinct art units, indicating wide distribution across examination personnel and substantial repetition within technical assignments. The scale calls for portfolio systems that preserve both technical consistency and examiner-specific history.
COLGAN, LAUREN ROBINSON is the busiest examiner, with 11 pending matters. This concentration supports a coordinated prosecution plan for those cases, including review of recurring objections and response positions. It does not eliminate the need to manage the remaining examiner relationships, where individualized preparation will remain important across the 50 art-unit assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 23 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. 23 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (2%) |
| §103 only | 50 (40%) |
| §102 only | 4 (3%) |
| §112 only | 3 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 57 (45%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
