Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
7 pending office actions • 6 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
Jotun A/S is currently managing 8 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 8 actions are distributed among 8 distinct examiners, which indicates that each pending application is being reviewed by a different individual. This high number of 8 distinct examiners means the company must navigate 8 different sets of examiner preferences and communication styles simultaneously.
The examiners are spread across 7 distinct art units, showing a range of technical classifications for the company's chemistry and materials filings. LAWLER, JOHN VINCENT is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, holding 1 pending office action. Because each of the 8 distinct examiners is only responsible for one case, no single examiner has a dominant influence over the portfolio. The involvement of 7 distinct art units suggests that the technology is specialized across different sub-sectors. Practitioners should prepare for 8 independent prosecution timelines and be ready to address the specific requirements of 7 different art units.
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 | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
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.
