Nissui Corporation currently manages 8 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed across 7 distinct examiners, indicating a broad range of individual reviews for the company's applications. The prosecution activity spans 5 distinct art units, which suggests the portfolio covers several specialized sub-sectors within the chemistry field. This distribution requires the company to manage various examination styles and technical standards simultaneously across the patent office.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is LI, CHANGQING, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This examiner is the only individual handling more than a single matter for the company at this time. The presence of 7 distinct examiners for 8 pending actions shows that the company's applications are rarely concentrated under a single individual's review. This diversity in examiner assignments can lead to different prosecution timelines and outcomes for the 8 pending matters. The engagement with 5 distinct art units further highlights the technical breadth of the company's current patenting efforts in the chemistry sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 3 (38%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
