Organo Corporation has 22 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio spans 20 distinct examiners and 15 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner coverage and a more concentrated unit structure. Since pending actions exceed both distinct examiners and distinct art units, some examiners and units handle multiple matters.
NORRIS, CLAIRE A is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner’s workload is only part of the portfolio, so a response program should combine centralized tracking of recurring issues with matter-specific analysis. The distribution across fifteen art units also makes unit-sensitive claim strategy important.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 12 (57%) |
| §112 only | 2 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (24%) |
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.
