Vmi Holland B.V. maintains 12 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These matters are distributed among 7 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units. The presence of 12 pending actions across 7 examiners indicates that several individuals are reviewing multiple applications for the company, which may allow for more consistent prosecution across those specific files.
The busiest examiner, PAQUETTE, SEDEF ESRA AYALP, is responsible for 5 pending office actions. This examiner manages more of the portfolio than any other individual, making their examination tendencies a critical factor for the company's overall success in the Chemistry & Materials sector. The remaining actions are spread across the other 6 distinct examiners.
With 6 distinct art units involved, the portfolio is subject to the standards of several different technical groups. This dispersion suggests that the company's chemistry and materials innovations are diverse, requiring practitioners to adapt to the specific nuances of each art unit. Coordinating responses across the 12 pending office actions is essential for maintaining a cohesive patent strategy across the 7 distinct examiners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (10%) |
| §103 only | 1 (10%) |
| §112 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (70%) |
