Zobele Holding S.p.A. manages a portfolio with 6 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. The high number of these art units relative to 6 pending office actions indicates that the company's chemistry-related innovations are being reviewed across a broad range of technical specialties at the patent office.
CLEVELAND, TIMOTHY C is the busiest examiner for the company, overseeing 2 pending office actions. The remaining pending office actions are spread across the other distinct examiners. This distribution shows that while CLEVELAND, TIMOTHY C has a slightly higher workload, the portfolio is generally decentralized. Managing these pending office actions across 5 distinct art units requires significant coordination, as each unit may have different procedural nuances within the Chemistry & Materials sector.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 2 (25%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
