JGC Corporation has 11 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio includes 10 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, indicating wide distribution across examination personnel and technical groups, with some repeated assignments.
BAUM, ZACHARY JOHN is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That limited repeat relationship may support comparison of examiner treatment, while the broader portfolio requires separate analysis of chemistry-related claim scope and cited prior art.
The data favors a structured prosecution review that tracks both examiner and art-unit patterns. Central oversight can improve consistency in argument development, but responses should remain tailored to the individual application records.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 4 (36%) |
| §103 only | 3 (27%) |
| §102 only | 1 (9%) |
| §112 only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (18%) |
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.
