Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. has 3 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned among 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating that each current action is handled through a separate examiner and examination group. The portfolio therefore requires coordination across multiple prosecution channels despite its limited number of pending matters.
FAN, LYNN Y is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. That assignment does not create a dominant examiner concentration in the current docket. Counsel can use a matter-specific review process, while maintaining a unified position on recurring chemistry or materials terminology wherever the applications share technical themes.
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 |
