The Foundation Of Soongsil University Industry Cooperation currently has 1 pending office action in the Computing & Software technology area. This single matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner, which indicates a very focused or limited current prosecution phase. The activity is contained within 1 distinct art unit, suggesting the technical subject matter is highly specific and fits within a single specialized examination group.
XU, MICHAEL serves as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 1 pending office action. Because there is only 1 pending office action in total, XU, MICHAEL is responsible for the entirety of the foundation's current pending workload. This creates a situation where the immediate success of the portfolio's prosecution in the Computing & Software sector relies on the specific interactions with this 1 examiner.
With only 1 distinct art unit and 1 distinct examiner involved, the foundation's current legal strategy is highly centralized. Practitioners working on this portfolio do not need to worry about conflicting examiner requirements across different units. Instead, they can focus entirely on the 1 pending office action under the review of XU, MICHAEL to achieve their intellectual property goals.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (13%) |
| §103 only | 5 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (40%) |
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.
