Shenzhen Capchem Technology Co. Ltd. has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio is distributed across 6 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, so every pending matter has a separate examiner and art unit assignment. This structure calls for matter-specific prosecution management rather than a single portfolio-wide response approach.
MALONEY, MICHAEL PATRICK is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. That assignment is only one part of the pending record, and the data does not identify a dominant examiner concentration. Counsel should maintain separate issue tracking for each art unit while looking for recurring claim or disclosure themes across the matters.
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 | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (83%) |
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.
