Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
4 pending office actions • 3 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
JX Metals Corporation is active in the Chemistry & Materials technology area with 4 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 4 distinct examiners, showing a lack of examiner overlap in the current portfolio. The work is spread across 3 distinct art units. CHU, YONG LIANG is the busiest examiner, though they only account for 1 pending office action.
This distribution suggests that the 4 pending office actions are spread evenly among the 4 distinct examiners. The use of 3 distinct art units for 4 pending office actions indicates that the technology is technically diverse. For a practitioner, this means preparing for different examination styles across the 4 pending office actions. The diversity of examiners relative to the 4 pending actions suggests that no single examiner's tendencies will dominate the portfolio's overall success. Because CHU, YONG LIANG has 1 pending office action, the workload is balanced across the 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units.
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 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
