Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. maintains an active prosecution pipeline with 17 pending office actions. These matters are situated within the Computing & Software technology area, a field often characterized by complex examiner interactions. The portfolio is distributed among 17 distinct examiners, meaning that every pending action is being reviewed by a different individual. This level of examiner diversity suggests a range of technical disclosures that do not overlap significantly in terms of specific examiner assignments.
The pending actions are spread across 12 distinct art units, indicating that the company's intellectual property interests touch upon multiple specialized sub-sectors within the computing domain. MCCARTHY, CHRISTOPHER S is identified as the busiest examiner, yet he is responsible for only 1 pending office action. This busiest examiner pending count of 1 highlights that no single examiner holds a disproportionate share of the company's active cases. For practitioners, this distribution requires managing many different examiner personalities and 12 different art unit cultures simultaneously. This decentralized structure may require a coordinated internal strategy to ensure consistency across the entire portfolio.
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 | 3 (18%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (12%) |
| §103 only | 5 (29%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 3 (18%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (18%) |
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.
