Technology area: Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems
6 pending office actions • 3 art units • 5 examiners • 0 of 6 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 40 patents granted in the last 365 days
Hai Robotics Co., Ltd. has 6 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed among 5 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows that while the technology area is consistent, the specific innovations are being reviewed by a diverse group of patent officials. The involvement of 5 distinct examiners suggests that the company must navigate various examination styles simultaneously.
The busiest examiner for the company is WAGGONER, TIMOTHY R, who manages 2 busiest examiner pending actions. The remaining actions are spread across the other distinct examiners, as there are 5 distinct examiners in total. With 3 distinct art units involved, the prosecution strategy must be adaptable to different internal policies and technical standards. The presence of 6 pending office actions across multiple units indicates a decentralized prosecution landscape for the company's mechanical systems.
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 (33%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (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.
