Svolt Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has 13 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The record identifies 9 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units, showing a portfolio distributed across multiple examination assignments. The pending matters therefore require coordinated docket control across several examiner and art-unit relationships, rather than a single prosecution strategy.
STCLAIR, ANDREW D is the busiest examiner, with 5 pending matters. That assignment is the principal concentration shown in the record, while the remaining matters are handled through other examiner paths. Counsel should give the STCLAIR matters focused attention while preserving separate response analyses for the other assignments.
The combination of 13 pending matters with 9 examiners and 9 art units calls for consistent issue tracking, claim strategy coordination, and deadline monitoring across the portfolio. Examiner-specific positions should be compared internally where appropriate, but each response should remain grounded in its assigned art unit and prosecution history.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 5 (42%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (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.
