Battelle Energy Alliance LLC has 10 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 10 distinct examiners and 8 art units, indicating fully distributed examiner assignments with some overlap in technical classifications.
ELOSHWAY, NIKI MARINA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. No examiner concentration is shown, so counsel should use matter-specific response planning. The art-unit groupings may still support coordination of recurring chemistry and materials issues across the docket.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (22%) |
| §103 only | 3 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (44%) |
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.
