Coperion GmbH has 7 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating both examiner distribution and recurring technical groupings across the pending portfolio.
WOLLSCHLAGER, JEFFREY MICHAEL is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. Counsel should coordinate the matters handled by that examiner while also tracking shared art-unit issues across the broader portfolio.
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 | 3 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
