Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology has 23 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The matters involve 22 distinct examiners and 17 distinct art units. This distribution indicates a docket spread across many examiner relationships, with several art units supporting more than one examiner assignment.
MINCHELLA, ADAM ZACHARY is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That is the largest examiner-specific concentration identified, while the remaining actions are distributed among the other listed examiners. The gap between 22 examiners and 17 art units means art-unit coordination can provide some grouping, but it will not replace examiner-level review. Practitioners should maintain a central chart of claim themes, cited references, and amendment positions, then adapt each response to the assigned examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 + other | 4 (18%) |
| §103 only | 10 (45%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (32%) |
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.
