ENEOS Corporation currently has 10 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 10 actions are handled by 8 distinct examiners, which indicates some overlap in examiner assignments. The portfolio is distributed across 4 distinct art units, showing that the company's chemistry and materials filings cover several different technical classifications at the USPTO. This distribution across 4 distinct art units suggests that the 10 pending office actions fall into several specialized categories.
Wojciech Haske is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, overseeing 2 pending office actions. This concentration with this examiner represents a portion of the 10 total pending actions. Because the work is spread across 4 distinct art units, the company likely faces varied administrative standards across its pending applications. The involvement of 8 distinct examiners for 10 actions means that while some examiners handle multiple cases, the majority of the 10 pending office actions are subject to varied individual scrutiny. Practitioners should account for the 2 pending office actions assigned to Wojciech Haske when developing a prosecution strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 4 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (67%) |
