Group14 Technologies Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. Those matters involve 3 examiners and 3 art units, so the active docket is distributed across separate examination assignments rather than concentrated in one unit.
LI, JUN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because the busiest examiner handles only part of the pending work, prosecution planning should account for examiner-specific issues across the other assigned matters as well.
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 | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
