Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co., Ltd. is currently processing 19 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 19 pending office actions are distributed among 19 distinct examiners, creating a ratio where no examiner is handling more than a single application for the company. The portfolio is also fragmented across 16 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical scope for these 19 pending office actions.
FLORES, ROBERTO W is the busiest examiner, yet he is responsible for 1 pending office action. This lack of concentration across 19 distinct examiners and 16 distinct art units means that Fuyao Glass must manage 19 separate prosecution tracks. There is no central examiner or art unit that dominates the portfolio, requiring the company to be prepared for a wide variety of examination styles and procedural requirements. With 19 pending office actions spread across 16 distinct art units, the strategy in Chemistry & Materials must be versatile to account for the diverse standards of many different patent office groups. The 1 pending office action assigned to the busiest examiner highlights the extreme fragmentation of this portfolio.
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 | 7 (39%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 3 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (39%) |
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.
