Johns Manville has 14 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters span 13 examiners and 10 art units, indicating a widely distributed prosecution docket with some repeated assignments.
PIERCE, JEREMY R handles 2 pending matters, the largest stated concentration. The remaining matters are spread among other examiners, making portfolio oversight important but leaving limited scope for a single examiner-focused approach.
The art-unit distribution provides a practical basis for organizing the docket. Counsel can compare related office actions within each unit, coordinate technical positions where the records support it, and preserve separate strategies for distinct examiner concerns.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (79%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
