Korea Institute Of Ceramic Engineering And Technology is managing 5 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 5 actions are handled by 5 distinct examiners, meaning no two pending matters are currently assigned to the same individual. These applications are distributed across 3 distinct art units. This distribution shows a balance between a broad range of reviewing personnel and a more focused set of technical classifications within the Chemistry & Materials sector.
LI, WENHAN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 pending office action. This workload is consistent across all 5 distinct examiners involved. Because there are 5 distinct examiners for 5 total actions, the workload is perfectly distributed. The distribution across 3 distinct art units for 5 pending office actions suggests that the Chemistry & Materials portfolio is somewhat specialized, with multiple pending actions being reviewed within the same technical divisions at the patent office.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (67%) |
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.
