Autel Robotics Co., Ltd. has 10 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 10 actions are handled by 10 distinct examiners across 10 distinct art units. This one-to-one ratio indicates a completely fragmented prosecution landscape. BONNETTE, RODNEY ANDREW is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. Since each of the 10 pending actions is assigned to a different examiner, the workload is evenly split.
The involvement of 10 distinct art units for 10 actions suggests that every application falls into a different technical sub-specialty. Practitioners must manage 10 separate relationships with 10 different examiners. There is no opportunity to leverage experience with a single examiner or art unit across multiple pending cases in this portfolio. The prosecution strategy for these 10 pending office actions must be entirely individualized, as the standards and preferences of 10 different examiners and 10 different art units will apply. This level of dispersion requires careful attention to the specific nuances of each separate matter. Practitioners should focus on the unique requirements of each examiner and unit to ensure favorable results for all 10 pending actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems area.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (56%) |
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.
