Oregon State University has 15 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are distributed across 15 examiners and 15 art units, giving every action a distinct examiner and technical setting.
BAREFORD, KATHERINE A is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. The fully separate assignments leave no examiner-level cluster for consolidated handling. Prosecution management should therefore focus on individualized technical analysis, response preparation, and deadline control for each matter.
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 | 6 (38%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (62%) |
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.
