Lintec Corporation currently has 26 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are handled by 24 distinct examiners, which is a smaller number than the total 26 pending office actions. The portfolio is distributed across 14 distinct art units, suggesting a variety of technical focuses within the chemistry sector. WALSHON, SCOTT R is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 2 pending office actions.
The 24 distinct examiners involved indicate that most examiners are responsible for only a single case for the company. This wide distribution across 14 distinct art units requires the company to manage diverse procedural requirements. WALSHON, SCOTT R, with 2 pending office actions, holds a slightly higher workload than the other distinct examiners. Practitioners should monitor the 26 pending office actions for consistency across the 14 distinct art units.
The 14 distinct art units represent a significant range of technical examination standards that the company must meet. With 26 pending office actions, the volume of work is spread thin across the 24 distinct examiners. Understanding the specific preferences of WALSHON, SCOTT R is important for the 2 pending office actions they manage, as they are the busiest examiner in this portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 16 (64%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (32%) |
