Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
5 pending office actions • 4 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Prime Polymer Co. Ltd. is managing 6 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, indicating a diverse range of individual perspectives on the company's patent applications. This spread requires a flexible prosecution strategy to address the varying requirements of multiple examiners.
The portfolio's activity spans 5 distinct art units. This degree of fragmentation across different units suggests that while the technology area is consistent, the specific applications cover a broad spectrum of chemical innovations. Each unit may have its own internal trends and allowance rates that the company must navigate.
XU, JIANGTIAN is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 2 busiest examiner pending actions. While this examiner handles more matters than any other individual, they still only manage a minority of the 6 pending office actions. This distribution provides a level of insulation against the specific examination style of any one person.
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 | 4 (80%) |
