Jiangsu Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited is managing 13 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 13 distinct examiners, which shows that every pending matter is being reviewed by a different person. This lack of examiner overlap suggests that the company's prosecution experience is highly varied across its active filings.
The portfolio is currently assigned to 6 distinct art units, indicating that the company's materials-related innovations are categorized into several different technical groups. PRESSLEY, PAUL DEREK is the busiest examiner for the company, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Since all 13 distinct examiners are handling exactly 1 pending office action each, the company must manage 13 separate examiner relationships. The presence of 13 pending office actions across 6 distinct art units highlights a significant level of activity and technical diversity within the company's current Chemistry & Materials portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 (31%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (62%) |
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.
