Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
22 pending office actions • 11 art units • 22 examiners • 0 of 22 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 21 patents granted in the last 365 days
Basell Polyolefine GmbH maintains a portfolio with 22 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 22 distinct examiners. This matching count between the 22 pending office actions and the 22 distinct examiners indicates a highly dispersed prosecution environment where no single examiner handles multiple pending matters. This distribution suggests that the company's legal strategy must account for a wide variety of individual examination styles.
The portfolio spans 10 distinct art units, showing a broad reach within the Chemistry & Materials sector. JOHNSON, CHRISTINA ANN is the busiest examiner, though this individual is only responsible for 1 pending office action. This confirms that the 22 pending office actions are spread as widely as possible across the 22 distinct examiners. Even the busiest examiner, JOHNSON, CHRISTINA ANN, holds only a small fraction of the total workload.
Managing 22 pending office actions across 10 distinct art units requires a strategy that accounts for various technical standards. Since the 22 distinct examiners each hold only 1 action, the company faces a diverse set of perspectives. The 10 distinct art units suggest that the technical subject matter is varied enough to trigger reviews from multiple specialized divisions within the Chemistry & Materials field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 8 (36%) |
| §112 only | 2 (9%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (50%) |
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.
