Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials Korea Ltd. maintains a very active prosecution profile with 35 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 21 distinct examiners and 10 distinct art units, indicating a large and technically diverse portfolio. GARRETT, DAWN L is the busiest examiner, currently managing 8 pending office actions.
The involvement of 21 distinct examiners for those matters shows a high degree of decentralization, which helps to spread the risk of individual examiner bias. However, the concentration of 8 pending office actions under GARRETT, DAWN L means that this single examiner has a substantial impact on the portfolio's overall success. The 10 distinct art units involved suggest that the company's innovations span a wide range of Chemistry & Materials sub-sectors.
Practitioners should closely monitor the matters under GARRETT, DAWN L, as their decisions will be pivotal. The examiners will likely provide a broad spectrum of feedback, requiring a highly coordinated legal strategy to manage the 35 pending office actions. The units each bring their own unique standards and prior art challenges, necessitating a versatile approach to prosecution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 15 (43%) |
| §102 only | 5 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (34%) |
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.
