CALB Co., Ltd. is navigating 6 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 6 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the company's prosecution activity is spread across several administrative channels rather than being concentrated in a specific unit.
The busiest examiner, KENLAW, GRACE A, is responsible for 1 pending office action. With 6 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage several independent prosecution tracks, as the number of examiners equals the 6 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 2 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
