Florida State University Research Foundation Inc. has 7 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 6 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, indicating broad distribution with one repeated examiner assignment and one repeated art-unit assignment.
HUTTER, GILLIAN A is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner carries the largest identified share of the docket, so counsel should review those matters together for consistent arguments and claim treatment.
The remaining matters are distributed across the other examiners and art units. A combined strategy should therefore address the repeated assignment while preserving separate preparation for the independent prosecution paths.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 2 (25%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
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.
