Beijing Zitiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. is currently managing 401 pending office actions, primarily within the Networking & Security technology area. This high volume of active cases is distributed among 307 distinct examiners, suggesting that the company's intellectual property is subject to a wide range of individual interpretations. The portfolio's reach is exceptionally broad, extending across 101 distinct art units. This indicates that the company's networking and security innovations intersect with many different specialized examination categories at the patent office.
The busiest examiner identified for this portfolio is SHANG, ANNAN Q, who is responsible for 7 busiest examiner pending office actions. Despite being the most active official for the company, this examiner handles a small portion of the 401 pending office actions. With 307 distinct examiners involved, the prosecution strategy must be robust enough to handle hundreds of concurrent dialogues. The presence in 101 distinct art units underscores the necessity of specialized knowledge across a vast array of technical disciplines to successfully navigate the active cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 91 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. 91 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 | 13 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 74 (18%) |
| §103 only | 174 (43%) |
| §102 only | 31 (8%) |
| §112 only | 5 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (0%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 106 (26%) |
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.
