Korea University Research And Business Foundation Sejong Campus currently manages 3 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners, indicating that each pending matter is being handled by a different individual. This variety requires the applicant to adapt to multiple examiner styles simultaneously.
The portfolio is active within 2 distinct art units, which is fewer than the number of examiners involved. This suggests that at least two examiners are likely operating within the same art unit, potentially offering some consistency in the administrative environment. The busiest examiner, CERIONI, DANIEL LEE, is responsible for 1 pending office action, showing that the workload is spread thinly across the available examiners.
Because the 3 pending office actions are split between 2 distinct art units, the foundation must address the specific examination standards of two different administrative groups. The even distribution of work among the examiners means that no single individual's decisions will dominate the entire portfolio. Practitioners should focus on the specific nuances of each examiner while looking for commonalities within the shared art units.
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 | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
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.
