3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Techno-Umg Co. Ltd. currently manages a portfolio with 3 pending office actions. These actions are located within the Chemistry & Materials technology area, which defines the primary technical landscape for the company's current filings. The workload is distributed among 3 distinct examiners, showing that each pending action is being handled by a different individual. This distribution suggests a variety of perspectives are being applied to the company's applications.
The pending actions are spread across 2 distinct art units, indicating that the company's prosecution efforts involve multiple administrative divisions within the patent office. MELISSA A RIOJA is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 1 pending office action. This indicates that the workload is evenly split, as the busiest examiner only handles 1 of the 3 total pending actions. Practitioners can observe that the company's strategy involves navigating 2 art units simultaneously within the Chemistry & Materials sector. The use of 3 distinct examiners highlights a lack of examiner concentration in the current portfolio.
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.
