National Kaohsiung University Of Science And Technology manages 4 pending office actions in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The workload is evenly split among 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution shows that each of the 4 pending office actions is isolated in its own art unit with its own examiner. Practitioners should note that with 4 distinct examiners involved, the university must engage in four separate dialogues to advance its portfolio.
RIDLEY, BASIA ANNA is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. With 4 distinct examiners each holding one of the 4 pending office actions, no single examiner dominates the timeline. The 4 distinct art units suggest a broad range of chemical research being patented. To clear the 4 pending office actions, the prosecution team must address the specific requirements of 4 different art units and 4 different examiners. Successfully resolving the 4 pending office actions will require a decentralized approach to satisfy each of the 4 distinct examiners. The 1 busiest examiner pending case under RIDLEY, BASIA ANNA is one part of the 4 pending office actions currently active.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (75%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
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.
