Beijing Zitiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. has 391 pending office actions in Communications. The portfolio spans 303 distinct examiners and 127 distinct art units, showing a large and broadly distributed prosecution operation.
HAKALA, ALAN GREGORY is the busiest examiner, with 5 pending actions. The workload is therefore spread across many examiner relationships, despite some concentration with the busiest examiner. Counsel will need centralized docket and response controls, supported by art-unit grouping and targeted review of recurring examiner issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 86 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. 86 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 | 12 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 77 (19%) |
| §103 only | 171 (42%) |
| §102 only | 35 (9%) |
| §112 only | 4 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (0%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 104 (26%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
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.
