Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology has 24 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The portfolio reaches 24 distinct examiners and 23 distinct art units, showing broad dispersion across examination personnel and technical groupings. The near alignment between actions and examiners indicates that examiner-specific repetition is limited in the available data.
FLORA, NURUN N is identified as the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner accounts for a large share of the pending actions, so docket management should emphasize consistent claim strategy, disclosure support, and tracking across many separate examination records.
The art unit distribution is also broad, with the number of distinct art units just below the number of pending actions. Counsel may benefit from maintaining a matter-level view of office action grounds and cited references while using the biotechnology and pharmaceutical classification as the portfolio-wide organizing context.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 2 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (20%) |
| §103 only | 7 (28%) |
| §102 only | 3 (12%) |
| §112 only | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (24%) |
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.
