National Institute Of Metrology China has 5 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters are assigned to 5 examiners and 5 art units, indicating separate examination settings for the docket.
MENDEZ MUNIZ, DYLAN JOHN is the listed busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Portfolio review should focus on consistency of technical terminology while treating each action as an individual prosecution record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (80%) |
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.
