Screen Holdings Co., Ltd. has 78 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The docket spans 68 distinct examiners and 45 distinct art units, showing extensive distribution across the examination corps and technical groups. The broad examiner footprint supports centralized portfolio controls, while the repeated art-unit assignments create a basis for targeted issue tracking.
CARRILLO, BIBI SHARIDAN is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That concentration is meaningful for a focused examiner review, but it does not define the broader docket. Counsel should combine examiner-specific preparation with art-unit and technology-based coordination.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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 | 5 (7%) |
| §103 only | 33 (43%) |
| §102 only | 3 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 34 (45%) |
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.
