UDC IRELAND Limited manages 8 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 8 pending office actions are distributed among 8 distinct examiners, ensuring a wide variety of examiner perspectives across the portfolio. The matters are spread across 5 distinct art units, reflecting a diverse range of chemical and material applications. GODENSCHWAGER, PETER F is the busiest examiner, though he is only responsible for 1 pending office action. This distribution indicates a highly specialized portfolio.
This high ratio of examiners to pending actions suggests that the company's patent filings are highly specialized, requiring expertise from 5 distinct art units. With 8 pending office actions and 8 distinct examiners, no single examiner has an outsized influence on the portfolio. GODENSCHWAGER, PETER F handles 1 pending office action, which is consistent with the overall distribution. Practitioners must navigate 5 distinct art units to manage the 8 pending office actions effectively across the Chemistry & Materials sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (78%) |
