Socpra Sciences Et Genie S E C currently has 8 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 8 actions are handled by 8 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is currently reviewing 1 matter for the company. The prosecution is spread across 6 distinct art units, which requires the applicant to navigate the specific procedural nuances of several different examination branches.
KUNEMUND, ROBERT M is the busiest examiner in the portfolio with 1 pending office action. Because the 8 pending office actions are distributed among the 8 examiners, the portfolio lacks a centralized point of contact at the USPTO. The ratio of 6 distinct art units to the pending actions suggests a moderate level of technical concentration within the broader chemistry field. This distribution implies that the company must manage multiple independent prosecution timelines and examiner preferences simultaneously. Practitioners should be prepared for different sets of examiner feedback, although the concentration in 6 art units provides some level of technical consistency across the pending inventory.
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 | 2 (25%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (50%) |
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.
