SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation) has 27 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The docket spans 21 examiners and 11 art units, creating a broad examination footprint across the portfolio.
DONAHUE, OLGA LUCIA handles 3 pending matters, the largest stated examiner concentration. The remaining actions are distributed among other examiners, so the portfolio calls for both centralized oversight and examiner-specific response preparation.
The difference between the action volume and the art-unit coverage indicates that some units contain multiple matters. Counsel can use those groupings to compare office-action themes, coordinate claim amendments where appropriate, and preserve distinctions between technically different cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 13 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (46%) |
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.
