Morgan State University is managing 9 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are distributed among 8 distinct examiners. The prosecution spans 7 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical range.
Hope A Robinson is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently handling 2 pending office actions. The remaining 7 pending actions are each assigned to a different distinct examiner. The high number of 7 distinct art units relative to 9 actions suggests that the university's mechanical systems research is highly diversified across different technical classifications. Practitioners must coordinate across 7 distinct art units and 8 distinct examiners to manage these 9 pending office actions. This distribution requires a flexible prosecution strategy that can adapt to 8 different examiner perspectives. The 2 pending office actions under Hope A Robinson represent the only concentration of cases under a single examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (30%) |
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
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.
