Fujifilm Holdings Corporation has 244 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The docket spans 167 distinct examiners and 94 art units, establishing a large and highly distributed prosecution operation across both examiner practices and technical assignments.
SEILER, GRANT STEVEN is the busiest examiner, with 11 pending actions. That examiner carries the most visible concentration in the listed data, but the broader docket remains distributed across many other examiners and art units. Counsel should combine centralized portfolio standards with specialized review for the technical and examiner contexts represented in each matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 55 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. 55 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 4 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 19 (8%) |
| §103 only | 106 (43%) |
| §102 only | 25 (10%) |
| §112 only | 7 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 78 (32%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
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.
