Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
13 pending office actions • 10 art units • 13 examiners • 0 of 13 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 23 patents granted in the last 365 days
Khalifa University of Science and Technology has 13 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The actions are distributed across 13 examiners and 10 art units, so each matter has a distinct examiner while several art units contain multiple matters.
EVANS, EBONY E is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The absence of a repeated examiner assignment makes portfolio-level consistency more useful than examiner-specific tactics. Counsel should track recurring chemistry and materials issues across the ten art units and tailor claim amendments to each examination context.
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 | 3 (23%) |
| §102 only | 2 (15%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (54%) |
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.
