Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
7 pending office actions • 5 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 9 patents granted in the last 365 days
The LUXEMBOURG INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY maintains a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The portfolio currently has 8 pending office actions distributed across 8 distinct examiners. This distribution of pending actions and examiners suggests a broad workload across the USPTO.
Prosecution activity spans 6 distinct art units, indicating that the institute's materials research covers several specialized regulatory categories. The busiest examiner, YUN, JURIE, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Despite the total of 8 pending office actions, no single examiner is handling more than 1, as shown by the busiest examiner pending count of 1.
This distribution across 6 distinct art units and 8 distinct examiners requires a strategy that accounts for diverse examiner behaviors. Since the 8 pending office actions are not concentrated under a single individual, the LUXEMBOURG INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY must manage multiple simultaneous prosecution timelines. The variety in 6 distinct art units suggests the Chemistry & Materials focus is multifaceted and subject to various departmental standards.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
