Kaneka Corporation has 69 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. Those matters are distributed among 63 distinct examiners and 44 distinct art units, showing that the portfolio is broad in both examiner coverage and technical examination placement.
THOMPSON, CAMIE S is the busiest identified examiner, with 3 pending matters. The profile therefore shows limited concentration around the busiest examiner compared with the overall number of assignments. A practitioner managing the docket may need strong centralized controls for response deadlines and recurring technology issues, while adapting prosecution tactics to the different examiner and art-unit contexts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (1%) |
| §103 only | 29 (43%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 3 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 30 (44%) |
