Zephyros Inc. has 22 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The portfolio spans 20 examiners and 15 art units, showing broad distribution across the examination system. The difference between the pending workload and examiner count indicates that some examiners handle more than one matter, while the art-unit count reflects additional clustering at the technology-group level.
BEMKO, TARAS P is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That figure is small relative to the full workload, so the portfolio is not dependent on a single examiner relationship. Counsel should preserve matter-specific prosecution records while looking for recurring issues within the relevant art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 5 (22%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (57%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (4%) |
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.
