Dow Global Technologies LLC has 95 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters span 70 examiners and 24 art units, creating substantial examiner dispersion and repeated activity within the art-unit structure.
KRYLOVA, IRINA handles 5 pending matters, the largest stated examiner concentration. Although that assignment merits coordinated attention, most actions remain distributed among other examiners and require separate examination analysis.
The art-unit coverage provides a practical organizing framework for this portfolio. Counsel can compare office-action themes within units, coordinate related claim positions, and preserve examiner-specific strategies where the records differ.
Given the volume, docket controls should connect response deadlines with technical and examiner groupings. A consistent review process can help identify common issues without treating distinct applications as interchangeable.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (1%) |
| §103 only | 44 (47%) |
| §112 only | 5 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 7 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 35 (37%) |
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.
