Avery Dennison Corporation has 16 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters span 15 examiners and 13 art units, indicating broad assignment diversity with limited repetition within technical groupings.
DUCHENEAUX, FRANK D is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner merits targeted attention, but the overall record remains distributed. Application-specific preparation and art-unit monitoring should therefore accompany any coordination around the busiest examiner.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 7 (47%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (27%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (7%) |
