The Korea Institute Of Science & Technology Information is managing 4 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners, yet they are contained within only 2 distinct art units. This suggests that while the individual examiners vary, the technological focus remains concentrated within a limited set of administrative groups. The use of 2 distinct art units for 4 pending office actions indicates that the examiners are grouped within a few administrative units.
BROWN, SARA GRACE is identified as the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. Given that there are 4 distinct examiners for the 4 pending office actions, each examiner is managing exactly one case. The presence of 4 distinct examiners provides a variety of perspectives on the portfolio, even though they are grouped within 2 distinct art units. This structure may lead to consistency in examination standards across the 4 pending office actions due to the limited number of art units involved.
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 (20%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (60%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
