5 pending office actions • 3 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 5 patents granted in the last 365 days
Eneos Materials Corporation has 5 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 5 actions are handled by 5 distinct examiners, showing a one-to-one ratio of pending matters to examiners. This distribution indicates that no single examiner is managing multiple cases for the company, which may lead to a variety of prosecution experiences across the portfolio.
The company's prosecution is spread across 3 distinct art units. BACH T DINH is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. This indicates that the workload is distributed broadly, as no single examiner is responsible for more than 1 of the 5 pending office actions. The use of 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's Chemistry & Materials innovations span several specialized sub-sectors within the USPTO's classification system.
For patent practitioners, this data highlights a decentralized prosecution environment. With 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units involved, the company must navigate different examiner styles and art unit norms. The fact that the busiest examiner, BACH T DINH, only has 1 pending office action further emphasizes the lack of concentration in the current prosecution pipeline.
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 (60%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
