The Industry Academic Cooperation Foundation Of Yeungnam University has 4 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These matters are handled by 4 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units. This structure results in a direct ratio between pending actions and examiners.
The busiest examiner is PEREZ, JAMES M, who currently oversees 1 pending office action. Since each of the distinct examiners is managing exactly 1 pending office action, the foundation's prosecution workload is evenly dispersed across its 3 distinct art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §112 only | 2 (50%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
