UDC IRELAND Limited has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The docket spans 6 examiners and 3 art units, indicating distinct examiner handling within a more limited set of technical groups. Counsel should coordinate responses across the portfolio while recognizing that examiner-level treatment may differ.
GODENSCHWAGER, PETER F is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The absence of a larger examiner concentration places the emphasis on deadline control and consistent issue tracking across the six separate assignments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (83%) |
