GC Corporation currently manages 11 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 11 distinct examiners. This distribution means that every active matter is being reviewed by a different individual. The company's prosecution results are subject to various styles across the 11 distinct examiners.
The pending office actions are situated within 6 distinct art units. MATHIEU D VARGOT is the busiest examiner for the company, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. This matches the pattern where no examiner is handling more than 1 pending action for the portfolio. The actions are spread across 6 distinct art units, suggesting the technology is grouped within these divisions.
Managing the portfolio requires a strategy for multiple patent office divisions. Because there are many distinct examiners, the company does not have a central examiner for the portfolio. The 6 art units indicate the range of chemical and material technologies under review.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 4 (33%) |
| §102 only | 3 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (42%) |
