563 pending office actions • 92 art units • 371 examiners • 0 of 563 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 873 patents granted in the last 365 days
Applied Materials Inc. manages a portfolio consisting of 560 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 92 distinct art units, which reflects the technical footprint for the company's current filings. The prosecution involves 368 distinct examiners, indicating the scale of interaction across the patent office for these cases, where the number of actions exceeds the number of examiners.
BENNETT, CHARLEE is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 15 pending office actions. While this is the highest concentration for any single examiner, it represents a portion of the 560 pending office actions total. The presence of 92 distinct art units indicates that the company's innovations in Chemistry & Materials span many specialized sub-sectors. Practitioners must navigate the requirements of 368 distinct examiners to manage this portfolio, which contains a higher count of pending actions than the 15 managed by the busiest examiner. This distribution requires a coordinated strategy across the many examiners involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 163 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. 163 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 only | 3 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 16 (3%) |
| §103 only | 239 (42%) |
| §102 only | 27 (5%) |
| §112 only | 18 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 8 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 12 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 237 (42%) |
| No statute on record | 3 (1%) |
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.
