Mondi AG is currently navigating 6 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 6 actions are being handled by 6 distinct examiners, meaning each case is under the review of a different person. The portfolio is distributed across 4 distinct art units, which implies that some art units contain more than one of the company's pending cases.
The busiest examiner for Mondi AG is RUSSELL, STEPHEN MATTHEW, who has 1 pending office action. This 1 action is part of the 6 total pending office actions for the company. Since there are 6 distinct examiners for the pending actions, the workload is evenly spread, and no single examiner has a dominant influence over the portfolio.
The 4 distinct art units involved suggest that the company's Chemistry & Materials applications cover several different technical niches. Practitioners should be prepared to adapt their arguments to the specific standards of these 4 distinct art units while managing the 6 distinct examiners involved. This distribution suggests a diversified prosecution landscape across the technology area.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
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.
