Korea Institute Of Ocean Science & Technology has 10 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The docket involves 10 examiners and 9 art units, while CHAN, KEVIN is the busiest examiner with 1 pending action.
Each pending action is assigned to a different examiner, indicating a highly dispersed prosecution workload. Centralized docket control is important for maintaining consistent technical positions, but responses should remain tailored to the relevant art unit. No examiner-specific strategy can be applied across the full active docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 only | 1 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (30%) |
| §103 only | 1 (10%) |
| §112 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (40%) |
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.
