SABIC Global Technologies B.V. has 68 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio spans 59 distinct examiners and 32 distinct art units, indicating extensive activity across technical groups and examination assignments. The difference between the action total and examiner count shows that some examiners handle more than one matter, but the overall record remains widely distributed.
DOYLE, BRANDI M is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. Those matters provide a useful focal point for checking recurring claim and prior-art treatment, while the broader portfolio requires systematic coordination. Counsel may benefit from standardized issue tracking, consistent terminology, and art-unit-specific response guidance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 | 2 (3%) |
| §103 only | 37 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (1%) |
| §112 only | 3 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 30 (41%) |
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.
