Beijing Institute of Technology has 7 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The matters involve 7 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units, creating a broad examiner workload across a smaller set of technical classifications.
LOUIE, WAE LENNY is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because the supplied data assigns each matter to a distinct examiner, docket management should emphasize individualized responses and systematic tracking across the five art units.
A common computing and software evidence base can improve consistency, but it should not replace analysis of each examiner’s claim construction, prior-art position, and procedural requirements.
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 (17%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
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.
