Korea University Research and Business Foundation has 86 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters span 83 examiners and 67 art units, reflecting extensive distribution across both examination personnel and technical groups.
CRAIG, KAILA ANGELIQUE is the busiest identified examiner, with 2 pending matters. Because the docket is not concentrated at one examiner, effective management will depend on coordinated tracking, consistent disclosure analysis, and tailored responses across many prosecution contexts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 21 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 2 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (13%) |
| §103 only | 24 (28%) |
| §102 only | 5 (6%) |
| §112 only | 9 (11%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 5 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 29 (34%) |
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.
