Windmöller & Hölscher Kg has 7 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio spans 7 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units. The matching pending-action and examiner figures show that each pending matter has a separate examiner assignment, while the art-unit figure indicates that at least one examination group contains matters handled by different examiners.
ROBITAILLE, JOHN P is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner concentration appears above that figure, so counsel should avoid assuming that an approach used in one matter will carry across the portfolio.
The portfolio structure supports centralized docket control combined with application-specific substantive review. Art-unit grouping may help identify shared technical context, but the examiner dispersion makes separate analysis of claim interpretation, cited references, and amendment strategy appropriate.
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 | 2 (25%) |
| §103 only | 3 (38%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
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.
