6 pending office actions • 1 art units • 6 examiners • 0 of 6 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 14 patents granted in the last 365 days
Japan Aviation Electronics Industry Ltd. is active in the Chemistry & Materials technology area with 6 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners, yet all are located within 1 distinct art unit. This suggests that while the company must interact with many different individuals, the technical standards and policies of a single art unit will likely govern all 6 pending office actions. PATEL, HARSHAD C is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action.
The matching count of 6 pending office actions to 6 distinct examiners means that no single examiner has more influence than another. Each examiner, including PATEL, HARSHAD C, is responsible for exactly one action. For practitioners, the challenge lies in managing the various examiner personalities within the same 1 distinct art unit. This concentration in the art unit provides a stable technical framework for addressing the pending office actions.
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 (17%) |
| §102 only | 2 (33%) |
| 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.
