Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. has 9 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio reaches 5 examiners but only 2 art units, showing that its matters are more concentrated by technical group than by examiner.
FRANKLIN, JODI COHEN handles the largest identified share, with 4 pending matters. That concentration makes examiner-specific review especially relevant, while the two-unit footprint supports art-unit-level coordination as well.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (71%) |
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.
