8 pending office actions • 5 art units • 8 examiners • 0 of 8 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Crompton Technology Group Limited maintains 7 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are spread across 7 distinct examiners, indicating a high degree of diversification in the individuals reviewing the company's applications. The workload is distributed across 4 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's technical interests within the materials sector are broad enough to trigger review by multiple specialized groups. This distribution requires a versatile legal strategy to address the varying perspectives of different examiners.
LUK, EMMANUEL S is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, though he is currently responsible for only 1 pending office action. This indicates that no single examiner holds a majority of the company's active matters. Instead, the prosecution is evenly distributed, requiring the company to manage multiple different examiner relationships simultaneously across the 4 distinct art units. This lack of examiner concentration means that the company must be prepared for a wide range of examiner behaviors and technical interpretations.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
