Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. has 44 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio spans 33 distinct examiners and 19 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner distribution across a substantial range of technical classifications.
BOLDEN, ELIZABETH A is the busiest examiner with 5 pending matters. This group provides a useful focus for identifying repeated objections or effective response positions, but it does not represent the whole docket. Counsel may combine art-unit-level coordination with examiner-specific analysis of material, composition, and process claims.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 22 (51%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (44%) |
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.
