Icon Technology Inc. has 7 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio includes 7 examiners across 5 art units, showing substantial examiner dispersion and technical assignment breadth.
LUK, EMMANUEL S is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because the busiest examiner handles only 1 matter, no single examiner relationship appears to dominate portfolio management. Counsel should maintain distinct response strategies for the pending applications while tracking art-unit-specific claim issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
