109 pending office actions • 20 art units • 36 examiners • 0 of 109 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 117 patents granted in the last 365 days
UNIVERSAL DISPLAY Corporation maintains a substantial portfolio with 104 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed across 16 distinct art units, reflecting a broad range of technical scrutiny within the field. The company interacts with 32 distinct examiners, which indicates a diverse set of perspectives and requirements across their pending applications. This high volume of activity suggests a robust and ongoing engagement with the patent office.
CLARK, GREGORY D. is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, managing 15 pending office actions. This concentration of 15 actions under a single examiner represents a notable focal point within the 104 total pending actions. Practitioners working on this portfolio must navigate the standards of 16 different art units while managing a heavy workload with specific individuals like CLARK, GREGORY D. The scale of 32 distinct examiners highlights the complexity of maintaining consistency across such a large volume of Chemistry & Materials filings. With 104 pending office actions, the company must manage a high volume of examiner interactions across 16 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 28 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. 28 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 | 5 (5%) |
| §103 only | 20 (18%) |
| §102 only | 5 (5%) |
| §112 only | 12 (11%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 14 (13%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 49 (45%) |
