Central Glass Company, Limited is currently managing 8 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across a matching number of 8 distinct examiners, which suggests a broad range of individual perspectives on the company's filings. Furthermore, the portfolio spans 5 distinct art units, indicating that the company's chemical and material innovations are diverse enough to fall under several different classification categories at the patent office.
REMAVEGE, CHRISTOPHER is identified as the busiest examiner, although they are only responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution reveals that every pending action is being handled by a different examiner, as the count of distinct examiners matches the total number of actions. For the practitioner, this means there is no single examiner bottleneck, but it also requires managing multiple separate examiner relationships and 5 different art unit environments simultaneously.
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 (38%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
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.
