Daio Paper Corporation is managing 8 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 8 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This reflects a prosecution environment where every pending action is assigned to a different reviewer. The 4 distinct art units indicate that the company's chemistry and materials technology is being evaluated across several specialized groups.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is MCKINNON, LASHAWNDA T, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because each of the 8 examiners handles exactly 1 action, no single examiner holds more influence than another over the pending matters. For a practitioner, this means that prosecution results will depend on the individual decisions of the various examiners. Strategies must be tailored to these separate reviewers across the 4 art units, as the 8 pending office actions are not consolidated under any single examiner's authority.
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%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (62%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
