165 pending office actions • 23 art units • 64 examiners • 0 of 165 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 135 patents granted in the last 365 days
KT&G Corporation currently faces 155 pending office actions, with its technological focus in Chemistry & Materials. This volume of prosecution activity is spread across 63 distinct examiners and 23 distinct art units. The scale of this portfolio suggests an active filing strategy, necessitating coordination to manage the 155 active matters across the different art units. The diversity of 23 distinct art units means that the company must address a wide range of technical standards across its portfolio.
The busiest examiner for KT&G Corporation is DIYAN, OLUWATOSIN OLUWATUMININ, who is responsible for 12 busiest examiner pending actions. This concentration of 12 busiest examiner pending actions under a single examiner is notable given the total of 63 distinct examiners involved with the company. For a practitioner, this indicates that DIYAN, OLUWATOSIN OLUWATUMININ handles a portion of the company's overall workload in the Chemistry & Materials sector. Monitoring the specific preferences and history of this examiner is important, as they manage 12 of the 155 pending office actions. Success depends on navigating both the 63 distinct examiners and the 23 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 27 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. 27 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 | 5 (3%) |
| §103 only | 79 (48%) |
| §102 only | 3 (2%) |
| §112 only | 2 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 70 (42%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
