48 pending office actions • 17 art units • 41 examiners • 0 of 48 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 38 patents granted in the last 365 days
NAN YA PLASTICS Corporation is managing 49 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are assigned to 42 distinct examiners across 18 distinct art units. This distribution reflects a broad range of chemical patent applications being prosecuted simultaneously across many different specialized groups.
BOYKIN, TERRESSA M is the busiest examiner for the company, with 3 pending office actions. Because there are 49 actions and 42 examiners, the portfolio is largely decentralized at the examiner level, with most examiners reviewing only one or two matters. The company must manage its prosecution strategy across 18 different art units within the patent office. The presence of 42 distinct examiners in 18 art units indicates that the company frequently interacts with multiple examiners within the same unit. This requires a strategy that accounts for a wide variety of individual examiner preferences across the Chemistry & Materials sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 28 (58%) |
| §112 only | 4 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (21%) |
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.
