Beijing Summer Sprout Technology Co., Ltd. currently manages 15 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed among 11 distinct examiners, which indicates exposure to a variety of examiner perspectives and styles. Despite the high number of examiners, the work is concentrated within 4 distinct art units. DAHLBURG, ELIZABETH M is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing 3 pending office actions. This concentration means that while 11 distinct examiners are involved, a single examiner handles 3 of the 15 total actions.
The ratio of pending office actions to 4 distinct art units suggests multiple filings within specific technological sub-groups. For practitioners, the involvement of the examiners requires a coordinated strategy to ensure consistency across the portfolio. Because DAHLBURG, ELIZABETH M manages the busiest portion of the workload, this examiner’s specific preferences will have a larger impact on the portfolio than any other individual examiner. Navigating the distinct art units also means the company must stay informed about the specific examination cultures of several different groups. The volume of pending office actions necessitates a robust management system to track deadlines and examiner interactions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 3 (18%) |
| §112 only | 2 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (65%) |
