7 pending office actions • 5 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 18 patents granted in the last 365 days
Nissei Asb Machine Co., Ltd. currently manages 7 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. Each of these 7 actions is assigned to a different person, as shown by the 7 distinct examiners listed in the data. This total lack of examiner overlap means that the busiest examiner, LIU, XUE H, has only 1 pending office action.
The pending matters are further dispersed across 5 distinct art units. This distribution suggests that the company's Chemistry & Materials innovations are technically diverse enough to trigger reviews from 5 different specialized groups at the USPTO. For practitioners, the 7 distinct examiners and 5 art units mean that each of the pending office actions will likely follow an independent prosecution path. There is little opportunity to leverage examiner-specific trends across multiple cases because no examiner is handling more than one action. The broad reach across the 5 distinct art units also means that the portfolio is subject to the varying examination speeds and policies of multiple USPTO divisions.
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 | 6 (86%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
