Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co., Ltd. maintains 19 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The prosecution of these matters is distributed across 19 distinct examiners and 12 distinct art units. This distribution of 19 pending office actions to 19 distinct examiners indicates a broad exposure to different individual examiner styles across the USPTO.
The busiest examiner identified in the data is FLORES, ROBERTO W, who is currently managing 1 pending action. With 12 distinct art units involved, the portfolio shows significant technical diversity within the chemistry sector. Practitioners must prepare for a wide variety of procedural approaches given that no single examiner handles more than 1 of the 19 pending office actions. This decentralized structure requires a flexible legal strategy that can adapt to the 12 distinct art units and the unique preferences of each of the 19 distinct examiners involved. Success depends on navigating these varied perspectives while maintaining a consistent technical narrative for the company.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 7 (37%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| §112 only | 3 (16%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (42%) |
