Standard Energy Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are distributed across 6 examiners and 6 art units, giving the portfolio broad coverage across examination groups.
OLSEN, KAJ K is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner carries a concentrated share of the pending work, so docket management should emphasize consistent internal review across multiple prosecution channels.
The distinct examiner and art-unit assignments support matter-specific response planning. Counsel may still benefit from comparing claim construction, prior-art treatment, and amendment choices across the portfolio before filing individual responses.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |

| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| §112 only | 1 (20%) |
