7 pending office actions • 4 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 12 patents granted in the last 365 days
The Lubrizol Corporation has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, showing that each listed action has a separate examiner relationship while some technical-group overlap remains.
OLADAPO, TAIWO is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The lack of examiner concentration favors individualized review of claim construction, prior art, and procedural posture. Shared art-unit experience may still help counsel identify recurring examination patterns without replacing matter-specific strategy.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
