Lockheed Martin Corporation has 13 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned to 13 examiners and 13 art units, showing broad distribution with each identified examiner and art unit represented separately in the supplied data.
RODRIGUEZ, MICHAEL P is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The equal pending-action, examiner, and art-unit counts indicate no concentration in a particular examination assignment. Counsel should therefore use a distributed docket-management approach, with each matter reviewed against its own examiner and art-unit context.
The profile does not identify a dominant examiner or technical unit. Portfolio oversight is consequently more dependent on consistent matter-level tracking than on escalation through one recurring examination channel.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (17%) |
| §103 only | 6 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (8%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (17%) |
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.
