25 pending office actions • 8 art units • 20 examiners • 0 of 25 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 25 patents granted in the last 365 days
Kyungdong Navien Co., Ltd. has 25 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio reaches 21 examiners and 8 art units, so its prosecution workload is broadly distributed across individual cases and technical assignments. The examiner spread is much wider than the art-unit spread, which indicates that several examiners are handling matters within the same broader examination groups.
BAUER, CASSEY D is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That concentration is limited relative to the overall portfolio, leaving most actions with other examiners. Counsel managing this docket should use centralized status tracking, but preserve matter-specific strategies because the examiner distribution suggests that a single response approach may not fit every case.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 6 (24%) |
| §102 only | 3 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (60%) |
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.
