Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
29 pending office actions • 22 art units • 28 examiners • 0 of 29 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 23 patents granted in the last 365 days
Teijin Limited has 28 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 27 examiners and 23 art units, showing broad distribution across examination personnel and technical groups, with some repeated assignments. The portfolio therefore combines wide coordination needs with limited areas where examiner or art-unit treatment may recur.
THOMPSON, CAMIE S is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment provides a defined opportunity to compare treatment across related matters, while the 23 art units require separate technical analysis for much of the portfolio.
Counsel should use portfolio-level issue tracking, then segment prosecution strategy by art unit and examiner. Consistent positions may be useful where assignments overlap, but the supplied distribution does not support a single approach for every matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (3%) |
| §103 only | 10 (34%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (48%) |
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.
