Aisin Keikinzoku Co. Ltd. has 2 pending office actions currently active in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 2 distinct examiners, creating a 2 to 2 ratio between the number of open actions and the individuals reviewing them. This distribution prevents any single examiner from exerting a disproportionate impact on the company's current prosecution efforts in this technical field. Practitioners can expect to manage two entirely separate sets of examiner preferences and timelines.
The portfolio is also spread across 2 distinct art units, matching the number of examiners and pending actions. This alignment indicates that each examiner is likely working within a different specialized group, requiring the company to navigate the specific procedural expectations of 2 separate administrative units. The lack of overlap between art units suggests that the pending applications may cover distinct sub-specialties within the broader chemistry and materials sector. Prosecution strategies should be customized to the unique standards of each art unit.
WANG, XIAOBEI is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action under their review. Because this busiest examiner only manages 1 of the total pending actions, the workload is evenly split. For legal strategy, this means that the company must maintain consistent communication with two different examiners who each hold an equal share of the active workload. No single examiner currently holds a majority of the company's pending 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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
