Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
14 pending office actions • 9 art units • 14 examiners • 0 of 14 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 13 patents granted in the last 365 days
Bostik S.A. has 16 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are distributed across 16 examiners and 9 art units, so each action has a distinct examiner while several actions share technical examination groups. This structure favors coordinated art-unit review without assuming uniform examiner treatment.
SHUKLA, KRUPA is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. The absence of examiner concentration means that response planning should remain matter-specific. Counsel can still use the nine art units to align terminology and identify recurring chemistry or materials issues across related matters.
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 | 9 (64%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (36%) |
