Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute is managing 7 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 7 actions are assigned to 7 distinct examiners. The portfolio spans 5 distinct art units, indicating a variety of technical focuses within the chemistry sector.
Ryan C Jager is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. This distribution shows that the company's material science filings are being reviewed by several specialized USPTO groups. With 7 pending office actions and 7 distinct examiners, the institute faces a decentralized prosecution landscape. The 5 distinct art units suggest that the 7 pending matters are spread across a majority of the relevant chemistry divisions, requiring a broad approach to USPTO engagement across the 5 different 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 (14%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (14%) |
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.
