RESONAC Corporation has a substantial prosecution workload with 129 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 129 pending office actions are distributed across 48 distinct art units, which reflects a high degree of technical diversity within their chemical and material science filings. The portfolio is being examined by 113 distinct examiners, requiring the company to manage a large number of individual relationships at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for the company is DEO, DUY VU NGUYEN, who is responsible for 5 pending office actions. While this is the highest concentration for any single individual, the vast majority of the 113 distinct examiners are handling only one or two cases each. Navigating 48 distinct art units in the Chemistry & Materials sector suggests that RESONAC Corporation must maintain a versatile prosecution strategy to address the varied standards of many different patent office departments. With 129 pending office actions, the company faces a complex examination landscape involving 113 distinct examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 | 10 (8%) |
| §103 only | 48 (37%) |
| §102 only | 9 (7%) |
| §112 only | 4 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 8 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 50 (38%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
