15 pending office actions • 6 art units • 15 examiners • 0 of 15 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 6 patents granted in the last 365 days
EVE Energy Co., Ltd. manages a portfolio of 15 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 15 actions are distributed among 15 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is reviewing 1 application. The portfolio is spread across 6 distinct art units, indicating a variety of technical focuses within the company's chemistry and materials research.
The busiest examiner, CHOI, WILLIAM SOON, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there are 15 distinct examiners for 15 pending office actions, no 1 examiner has more than 1 matter under review. This high level of dispersion across 15 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units suggests that the company's patent strategy is decentralized. Practitioners must be prepared to handle a variety of examination styles and technical standards, as the 15 pending office actions are not concentrated under any 1 individual. This structure requires a versatile prosecution approach to ensure consistency across the 6 different art units and 15 examiners involved. The presence of 6 distinct art units shows that while the examiners are all different, there is some technical grouping within the portfolio that practitioners can use to inform their strategies.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (7%) |
| §103 only | 4 (27%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (60%) |
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.
