Inha University Research And Business Foundation has 12 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 12 distinct examiners. The prosecution workload spans 7 distinct art units, reflecting a broad technical range within the transportation and mechanical systems area.
The busiest examiner is KIM, ANDREW SANG, who is managing 1 pending office action. Because there are 12 distinct examiners for 12 pending actions, the workload is perfectly distributed with no single examiner handling multiple matters. The 7 distinct art units indicate that the university's research is being evaluated by several different specialized divisions at the patent office. Practitioners should be prepared for a variety of examiner perspectives across the 12 pending office actions.
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 | 2 (17%) |
| §103 only | 6 (50%) |
| §112 only | 2 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (17%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
