4 pending office actions • 4 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Komico Ltd. operates in Chemistry & Materials with 4 pending office actions. These actions are spread across 4 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the company's chemical technology is being evaluated across several different technical classifications, requiring a broad prosecution strategy.
There are 4 distinct examiners involved in the portfolio. LEONG, NATHAN T is the busiest, currently handling 1 pending office action. The use of 4 different examiners for the 4 pending actions suggests that each case is under independent review. This lack of examiner overlap means the company must manage four separate examiner relationships simultaneously.
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.

|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
