Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
2 pending office actions • 1 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 2 patents granted in the last 365 days
UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE MADRID has 2 pending office actions currently active in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are split between 2 distinct examiners, meaning each pending matter is being evaluated by a different person. The portfolio's reach is concentrated in 1 distinct art unit, indicating that the university's chemistry innovations are being reviewed by a single specialized group within the patent office.
The busiest examiner identified in the data is MCCORMACK, JASON L, who currently oversees 1 pending case. With 2 pending office actions and 2 distinct examiners, the university faces different examination perspectives even within a single art unit. This lack of examiner overlap means that insights gained from one application may not directly apply to the other, requiring a customized approach for each of the 2 pending matters.
The concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests that the university is focusing its intellectual property efforts in a specific technical sub-field. Practitioners should be prepared to navigate the specific guidelines and precedents of this 1 distinct art unit. Because no single examiner handles more than 1 pending case, the portfolio's overall progress is not overly dependent on the timeline or temperament of any one individual at the patent office.
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 |
|---|---|
| §112 only | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
