The National Institute Of Metrology China currently has 5 pending office actions within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These matters are distributed among 5 distinct examiners. The portfolio spans 4 distinct art units, which suggests that the institute's research in mechanical systems is technically diverse.
JEANTY, ROMAIN is identified as the busiest examiner, though they are only responsible for 1 pending office action. This indicates that no examiner holds a majority of the 5 pending office actions. The distribution across 4 distinct art units means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to the specific requirements of multiple examination groups. With 5 distinct examiners involved, the institute faces a variety of examination styles within the transportation and e-commerce sector. The lack of concentration under any 1 examiner reflects a broad approach to its current patent filings.
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 only | 1 (20%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (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.
