6 pending office actions • 4 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 6 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
Resonac Packaging Corporation is managing 6 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 6 actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is currently reviewing 1 matter. This distribution across 6 distinct examiners requires the company to address the specific feedback of 6 different individuals.
The portfolio is active in 4 distinct art units, showing that the company's Chemistry & Materials innovations span multiple technical classifications. Jacob Buchanan is the busiest examiner, overseeing 1 pending office action. Because the 6 pending office actions are spread across 4 distinct art units, the company must coordinate its prosecution strategy across several different divisions of the patent office. Each of the 6 distinct examiners holds 1 pending office action, creating a decentralized prosecution environment for the company's 6 pending matters. This structure requires the applicant to maintain consistent arguments across 4 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
