Beihang University is currently managing 13 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. This portfolio is highly diversified, with the 13 actions spread across 13 distinct examiners. Furthermore, these matters are distributed among 9 distinct art units, indicating a very broad technical range that spans multiple specialized divisions at the patent office.
DU, HAIXIA is the busiest examiner for the university, currently handling 1 pending office action. In this portfolio, every 1 of the 13 pending actions is assigned to a different examiner, meaning no single official manages more than 1 case. The presence of 9 distinct art units for 13 actions highlights the complexity of the university's research output, as it requires engagement with nearly as many specialized units as there are active cases. Practitioners must be prepared to navigate a wide array of examiner preferences and art unit standards across this extensive and varied portfolio. This high level of decentralization requires a robust management strategy to ensure that the prosecution of each individual matter remains consistent with the university's broader intellectual property goals.
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 (15%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (38%) |
| §103 only | 2 (15%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (23%) |
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.
