Iucf-Hyu (Industry-University Cooperation Foundation Hanyang University) currently has 1 pending office action within the Computing & Software technology area. This action is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and is located within 1 distinct art unit. The prosecution footprint is currently minimal and focused, which is common for specific academic research outputs being transitioned into the commercial sector.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is MAC, GARY, who is responsible for the 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there is 1 pending office action in total and 1 distinct examiner, MAC, GARY is the individual currently reviewing the company's active applications. This concentration in 1 distinct art unit suggests a specific technical focus for the foundation's current software-related filings. Practitioners should monitor the examiner's feedback closely, as it will provide the primary guidance for the foundation's current intellectual property trajectory.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 | 13 (24%) |
| §103 only | 13 (24%) |
| §102 only | 4 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (41%) |
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.
