3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Electroninks Incorporated has 3 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. SHAH, MANISH S is the busiest examiner, overseeing 1 pending office action.
The portfolio involves 3 distinct examiners for the pending office actions, showing no examiner overlap. With 2 distinct art units involved, the company's filings are split across different technical sections within the Chemistry & Materials area. This distribution requires the company to manage 3 separate prosecution timelines while addressing the specific procedural standards of 2 different art units.
SHAH, MANISH S is responsible for 1 pending office action, which represents one third of the current workload. Because the pending office actions are divided among 3 distinct examiners, the company's overall success is not overly dependent on any one individual. However, the presence of 2 distinct art units suggests that the company's filings are broad enough to trigger review by different specialized groups within the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 | 2 (67%) |
