Arconic Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned to 4 examiners and 4 art units, so the docket spans multiple examination resources without a separate art-unit assignment for every pending matter.
HEVEY, JOHN A is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner carries more pending activity than the other identified examiner assignments in the supplied profile, making this a useful focal point for docket review, although the remaining matters still require separate tracking.
The combination of 6 pending actions and 4 examiners indicates that some examiner assignments cover more than one matter. Counsel should organize prosecution oversight by examiner and art unit, while preserving matter-specific analysis for responses and deadlines.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
