Beijing Institute of Technology is managing 6 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, meaning the pending applications do not share the same reviewer. These examiners are spread across 4 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical range within this technology area.
The busiest examiner, LOUIE, WAE LENNY, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the distinct examiners hold the pending office actions, the workload is distributed across many individuals. This variety across 4 distinct art units suggests that the institute must navigate diverse examiner perspectives and departmental standards to advance its current portfolio. With the distinct examiners involved, the institute faces a decentralized prosecution environment where each of the pending office actions requires a unique approach. This broad distribution of work requires the institute to manage a high volume of unique examiner interactions simultaneously.
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 | 2 (33%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
