Myongji University Industry And Academia Cooperation Foundation is prosecuting patents in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio has 9 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 9 distinct examiners, indicating a broad range of individual reviews. This distribution suggests that the university's applications are subject to a wide variety of individual perspectives rather than being funneled to a small group of specialists.
The prosecution involves 8 distinct art units. This high number of units relative to the actions suggests that the university's research covers a wide array of technical sub-fields. Practitioners must manage diverse examiner expectations across these different administrative groups. The diversity of art units indicates that the portfolio's technical scope is expansive, requiring expertise in multiple disciplines to effectively respond to office actions.
The busiest examiner is ZEROUAL, OMAR. This examiner is currently handling 1 pending office action. With a busiest examiner pending count of 1, the workload is perfectly distributed across the examiners. No single examiner holds a majority of the pending cases, which mitigates the risk of a single examiner's bias impacting the entire portfolio. Practitioners should focus on the individual requirements of each official involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 + other | 4 (44%) |
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (33%) |
