14 pending office actions • 14 art units • 14 examiners • 0 of 14 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 26 patents granted in the last 365 days
Beihang University currently manages 13 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These 13 actions are distributed across 13 distinct examiners, meaning that every active matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This matching count of examiners and cases suggests a highly diverse prosecution landscape relative to the 13 pending office actions. The portfolio is also spread across 13 distinct art units, which is a high degree of administrative dispersion for 13 pending office actions.
HOBSON, STEPHEN is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the 13 pending office actions are divided among 13 distinct examiners and 13 distinct art units, the university must manage 13 entirely separate prosecution tracks. This lack of concentration means that no single examiner or art unit has a significant impact on the overall portfolio, requiring a broad approach to patent prosecution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 only | 2 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (36%) |
| §103 only | 1 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (36%) |
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.
