Zephyros Inc. has 20 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 20 actions are distributed across 13 distinct art units and 19 distinct examiners. Gregory A Blankenship is the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 2 pending office actions. The 2 pending actions with the busiest examiner are a portion of the 20 pending office actions total. With 19 distinct examiners for 20 pending office actions, the portfolio is highly decentralized. This requires managing 19 different examiner styles across 13 distinct art units. The 13 distinct art units indicate a range of technical applications within the chemistry field. Such a broad distribution across 19 distinct examiners means that prosecution outcomes are largely independent of any individual examiner's tendencies.
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 (26%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (58%) |
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.
