Newsouth Innovations Pty Limited operates in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The company currently has 9 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 9 distinct examiners, which means that every active matter is being reviewed by a different person.
The portfolio's activity spans 8 distinct art units. This high number of units relative to the total actions suggests a broad technical focus, with filings spread across many different specialized administrative groups. DAM, DUSTIN Q is the busiest examiner for the portfolio.
DAM, DUSTIN Q is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Given that there are 9 pending office actions in total, this examiner handles 1 of the 9 active workload matters. The fact that 9 distinct examiners are working across 8 distinct art units indicates a decentralized prosecution environment where almost every active case is being evaluated by a different individual in a different technical group.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 2 (22%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (67%) |
