36 pending office actions • 3 art units • 19 examiners • 0 of 36 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 20 patents granted in the last 365 days
LT Materials Co., Ltd. currently manages 38 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. This volume of active prosecution is distributed across 20 distinct examiners, indicating a broad engagement with the patent office staff. Despite the high number of pending actions, the work is concentrated within only 3 distinct art units, suggesting a specialized focus for the company's intellectual property portfolio.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is CLARK, GREGORY D, who is responsible for 4 pending office actions. This specific workload represents a notable concentration of the 38 total actions. The involvement of 20 distinct examiners across only 3 distinct art units suggests that while the 20 individuals are reviewing the applications, they are likely operating under similar internal policies or examining guidelines. Practitioners should monitor the 4 actions under CLARK, GREGORY D for potential trends that might affect the broader portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 (44%) |
| §102 only | 5 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (39%) |
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.
