Momentive Performance Materials Inc. has 20 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The workload spans 15 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, showing broad distribution across the examination corps and technical organization. This structure calls for portfolio-level docket control, consistent claim strategy, and careful tracking of examiner-specific issues.
MOORE, MARGARET G is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That concentration identifies a useful starting point for reviewing recurring objections, amendment patterns, and response timing, while the broader examiner and art-unit spread means that one approach may not address every file. Counsel should preserve a common technical position where appropriate, but adapt prosecution arguments to the separate examination records.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 7 (37%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (53%) |
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.
