Kt & G Corporation has 4 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned across 4 examiners and 4 art units, indicating a fully distributed active docket at the available level of detail.
GIRMA, FEKADESELASS is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has a larger identified concentration, so prosecution oversight should remain organized by individual matter and technical unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (40%) |
| §102 only | 2 (40%) |
