Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned to 6 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, so the profile shows broad separation across both dimensions.
AYAD, TAMIR is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The docket does not center on one examiner. Counsel should organize prosecution by individual matter and art unit, using technical coordination only where the underlying inventions justify it.
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 (17%) |
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (17%) |
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.
