Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
5 pending office actions • 5 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 4 patents granted in the last 365 days
Toda Kogyo Corp. currently has 5 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 5 pending office actions are being reviewed by 5 distinct examiners, meaning that no two applications are being handled by the same person. The portfolio is also distributed across 5 distinct art units, which suggests a high degree of technical variety in the company's pending chemistry and materials applications.
NGUYEN, KHANH TUAN is identified as the busiest examiner for the company, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. With 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units involved, the company's 5 pending office actions are subject to a wide range of examination styles and departmental interpretations. This lack of overlap requires the company to manage five separate prosecution tracks, as the feedback from one examiner in the Chemistry & Materials sector may not be applicable to the others.
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%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
