Kokusai Electric Corporation manages a large portfolio with 88 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are spread across 22 distinct art units, indicating a broad reach within this technical domain. The prosecution involves 65 distinct examiners, which requires coordinating with a wide variety of individual examiner styles and requirements. With 88 pending office actions, the company maintains a high volume of active engagement with the patent office.
MCCLURE, CHRISTINA D is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 5 pending office actions. While this is the highest concentration for any single examiner, these 5 actions represent only a small fraction of the total pending office actions. The high number of 65 distinct examiners relative to the 22 distinct art units suggests that many art units have multiple examiners assigned to the company's applications. Successfully managing the pending office actions across the distinct examiners requires a robust system for tracking diverse examiner behaviors.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 24 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. 24 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 only | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (4%) |
| §103 only | 25 (27%) |
| §102 only | 5 (5%) |
| §112 only | 6 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 48 (53%) |
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.
