9 pending office actions • 7 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 9 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 7 patents granted in the last 365 days
The Industry-academic Cooperation Foundation Gyeongsang National University currently manages 9 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These active matters are distributed among 9 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that the foundation has multiple chemical or material innovations being reviewed simultaneously across various administrative sections of the patent office. The involvement of 8 distinct art units suggests that the foundation's research and patenting efforts span a range of specialized sub-fields.
The busiest examiner for the foundation is KRUPICKA, ADAM C, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Given that there are 9 pending office actions in total, the workload is distributed such that many distinct examiners are involved in the process. This variety requires managing different examination standards across the 8 distinct art units. Practitioners should observe that the decentralized nature of this portfolio means that outcomes in a specific case may not predict results in others. KRUPICKA, ADAM C handles a portion of the active docket.
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 + other | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 4 (44%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (22%) |
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.
