24 pending office actions • 10 art units • 21 examiners • 0 of 24 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 14 patents granted in the last 365 days
Organo Corporation currently manages a workload of 24 pending office actions. These matters are concentrated within the Chemistry & Materials technology area, reflecting the company's primary technical focus. The prosecution of these applications is distributed across 21 distinct examiners, which suggests interaction with various personnel at the patent office. This number of 21 examiners relative to the 24 pending actions indicates that most examiners are handling an individual matter for the company.
The portfolio also spans 10 distinct art units. This distribution across 10 art units highlights the technical variety of the company's filings within the materials sector. MENON, KRISHNAN S is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 3 pending office actions. The overall strategy appears to be distributed, as the 24 actions are not heavily clustered under a small group of examiners or art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 (8%) |
| §103 only | 15 (62%) |
| §112 only | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (21%) |
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.
