National Taiwan Normal University currently manages a patent portfolio with 3 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across the technology area of Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The prosecution workload is spread among 3 distinct examiners, indicating a one-to-one ratio between pending actions and assigned examiners. This distribution suggests that the university's intellectual property in this technology area is subject to review by multiple specialized perspectives within the patent office.
The portfolio is also active across 3 distinct art units. AKOGYERAM II, NICHOLAS A is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. For patent practitioners, the involvement of 3 distinct art units means that prosecution strategies may need to be tailored to the specific practices of each unit. The presence of 1 pending action with the busiest examiner shows that no single individual is overwhelmed by this specific applicant's current filings, allowing for focused attention on each case.
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.
