7 pending office actions • 2 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 7 patents granted in the last 365 days
Kingfa Sci & Tech Co. Ltd. maintains a portfolio with 7 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, which involves multiple individual review styles. The busiest examiner, Uselding, John E, is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This distribution indicates that the company's filings are being evaluated by several officials within the patent office.
The prosecution efforts are organized across 2 distinct art units. This presence of the art units for the 7 pending office actions suggests that the company's chemical and material innovations are being reviewed by a limited number of administrative divisions. With the 6 distinct examiners involved, the company must manage different examiner preferences even within the art units. The workload for Uselding, John E is the highest number of matters for any single examiner in the current portfolio. Practitioners should coordinate their strategy to address the active matters across these administrative divisions.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (43%) |
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
