DOOSAN ENERBILITY CO., LTD. is managing 11 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are spread across 10 distinct examiners, suggesting that the workload is fairly evenly distributed. The portfolio's activity is concentrated within 6 distinct art units, reflecting a focused range of mechanical and engineering technologies under review at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is PRUITT, JUSTIN A, who is managing 2 busiest examiner pending actions. This represents a small concentration within the 11 pending office actions total. Practitioners should monitor the progress with this examiner, as they handle a larger share of the portfolio than the other 10 distinct examiners. The distribution across 6 distinct art units requires attention to various technical standards.
With 11 pending office actions and 6 distinct art units, the prosecution landscape is manageable but requires attention to the specific nuances of each unit. The fact that there are 10 distinct examiners means that most applications will require a unique approach. The 2 busiest examiner pending actions with PRUITT, JUSTIN A highlight the primary point of contact for the company's current mechanical engineering matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 7 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (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.
