Yoshino Gypsum Co., Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio includes 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, so the matters are separately distributed across the recorded examination assignments.
DODDS, SCOTT is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data does not show concentration around one examiner or art unit. Counsel can therefore prioritize individual office-action analysis while using the common technology area to coordinate broader claim strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 3 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
