Jotun A/S has 7 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 7 actions are assigned to 7 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is currently reviewing exactly one matter for the company. These actions are spread across 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's chemical applications are concentrated within a few specific technical groups.
LAWLER, JOHN VINCENT is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. The distribution of 7 actions across 3 art units indicates that the company's filings are being reviewed by several different specialized groups within the patent office. Because there are 7 distinct examiners but only 3 art units, the company is interacting with multiple examiners in each of those units. This requires a prosecution approach that can handle different examiner styles even when the technical subject matter is closely related within the Chemistry & Materials field. No single examiner's habits will dominate the outcomes for this portfolio.
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 | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
