Nitto Boseki Co., Ltd. currently manages 10 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 10 pending office actions are distributed across 9 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units. The 9 distinct examiners indicate that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different individual. The 8 distinct art units suggest that the portfolio is spread across several administrative groups within the patent office.
RILEY, JEZIA is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio. This examiner is responsible for 2 busiest_examiner_pending actions. The 2 busiest_examiner_pending actions are part of the 10 pending office actions currently active. RILEY, JEZIA and the other 9 distinct examiners handle the workload within the Chemistry & Materials area. The 8 distinct art units provide the technical context for these applications.
The 10 pending office actions require coordination with 9 distinct examiners. RILEY, JEZIA holds 2 busiest_examiner_pending actions, showing a concentration of cases for this specific examiner. Practitioners should address the requirements of the 8 distinct art units to advance the portfolio. The Chemistry & Materials area defines the technical scope for all 10 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (27%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (18%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (45%) |
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.
