Bridgestone Corporation has 100 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The docket covers 59 distinct examiners and 35 distinct art units, indicating recurring examiner and technical-group assignments across a substantial portfolio. The lower examiner count relative to pending actions creates opportunities to develop examiner-aware practices, while the art-unit distribution supports technical segmentation.
FISCHER, JUSTIN R is the busiest examiner, with 13 pending matters. This is a clear focal point for reviewing response history, claim treatment, and recurring objections. That concentration should be integrated into, rather than replace, broader controls for the many other examination paths in the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 | 5 (8%) |
| §103 only | 33 (51%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 24 (37%) |
