Collaborative Robotics has 2 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so the available workload is divided across separate examination assignments.
JEN, MINGJEN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The data does not show a concentrated examiner or art-unit workload. Counsel can therefore focus on the specific record and claim issues in each matter, with limited basis for a broader examiner-level strategy.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (50%) |
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.
