23 pending office actions • 12 art units • 22 examiners • 0 of 23 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 26 patents granted in the last 365 days
Eve Power Co., Ltd. has 22 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are assigned to 22 distinct examiners, meaning every pending matter is currently being reviewed by a different individual. This one-to-one ratio between 22 actions and 22 examiners represents a completely decentralized prosecution workload. This distribution suggests that the company's chemistry and materials innovations are subject to the individual interpretations of 22 different examiners, requiring a highly adaptable prosecution strategy.
The portfolio is distributed across 13 distinct art units. With 22 pending office actions, the company's work is spread through 13 different specialized divisions of the patent office. This distribution across 13 art units indicates that the company's chemistry and materials innovations cover several distinct technical classifications. The presence of 22 actions within 13 units also implies that some art units are handling multiple matters, which may provide opportunities for more consistent prosecution within those specific technical silos.
KATIE L GERTH is identified as the busiest examiner, although this examiner is only responsible for 1 pending office action. Because all 22 distinct examiners are handling exactly 1 action each, the workload is perfectly balanced across the portfolio. The presence of 22 pending actions in 13 art units reflects the company's current patent strategy. This balanced distribution across 22 examiners and 13 art units highlights the broad and varied nature of the company's ongoing efforts in the chemistry sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 8 (35%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (61%) |
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.
