Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
7 pending office actions • 1 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 5 patents granted in the last 365 days
Kyulux Inc. is managing 6 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. All of these matters are concentrated within 1 distinct art unit, indicating a very specific technical niche for the company's materials science portfolio. This high level of concentration suggests that the company's patent strategy is deeply rooted in a particular subset of chemical technology, which may lead to more consistent examination patterns across the pending matters.
The prosecution involves 6 distinct examiners, meaning each pending action is being reviewed by a different individual. DAHLBURG, ELIZABETH M is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action among the total active cases. Engaging with such a high number of examiners within a particular art unit requires a nuanced approach to prosecution, as practitioners must navigate the individual preferences of different officials. Monitoring the art unit is essential for understanding the broader examination environment affecting the portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
