The National Taiwan University of Science and Technology currently has 7 pending office actions within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 7 pending office actions are handled by 7 distinct examiners, meaning every pending matter is assigned to a different individual. This distribution between actions and examiners suggests a lack of examiner-specific concentration, which may result in a wide variety of prosecution styles and requirements for the university to navigate.
Prosecution activity is distributed across 6 distinct art units, indicating that the university's research and patenting efforts in Chemistry & Materials are technically diverse. TABASSOM TADAYYON ESLAMI is noted as the busiest examiner, though this individual is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the busiest examiner pending count is 1, the workload is perfectly distributed across the examiners. This level of dispersion across 6 distinct art units requires the university to manage multiple distinct examination tracks simultaneously. The high number of distinct examiners relative to the pending office actions suggests a broad but thin presence across the Chemistry & Materials sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 | 4 (57%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
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.
