Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
5 pending office actions • 5 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Zadient Technologies SAS manages a company patent portfolio in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. There are 4 pending office actions currently in the portfolio. These 4 actions are assigned to 4 distinct examiners, creating a distribution where each examiner reviews a 1 action.
Furthermore, these actions are spread across 4 distinct art units. This represents a maximum level of dispersion for the 4 pending office actions, as each 1 is in a different unit and under a different examiner. The busiest examiner, MILLER, JR, JOSEPH ALBERT, handles 1 busiest examiner pending office action.
This high degree of variety across 4 distinct art units and 4 distinct examiners suggests that the company's Chemistry & Materials innovations are technically diverse. Practitioners must tailor their approach for each of the 4 pending office actions, as there is no overlap in examiners or art units. The strategy must be highly individualized for each of the 4 distinct examiners involved in the prosecution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (100%) |
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.
