Envision Aesc Japan Ltd. currently has 7 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 7 pending office actions are handled by 7 distinct examiners, which indicates that each application is being reviewed by a different individual. The data also shows that the portfolio is distributed across 7 distinct art units, suggesting a wide variety of technical classifications for the company's filings.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is COCHENOUR, ZACKARY RICHARD, who is currently responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This 1 busiest examiner pending office action is just 1 of the 7 pending office actions, meaning the workload is evenly spread across the 7 distinct examiners. This lack of concentration suggests that no individual examiner's habits will dominate the overall prosecution outcome.
For practitioners, the presence of 7 distinct art units within the Chemistry & Materials sector implies that the company must adapt to several different sets of examination guidelines. Because COCHENOUR, ZACKARY RICHARD only manages 1 busiest examiner pending office action, the legal strategy must be broad enough to address the unique requirements of all examiners involved in the current applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 5 (71%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
