National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University has 22 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. These matters span 22 distinct examiners and 18 distinct art units, making the portfolio broadly distributed across examination resources. The examiner count matches the office-action count, so each pending matter has a distinct examiner in the supplied data.
RIGA, MICHAEL ANGELO is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has more than 1 matter in the available profile, which means there is no dominant examiner relationship to drive a unified response strategy. The art-unit count is lower than the examiner count, showing that some art units handle multiple matters even though examiner assignments remain distinct.
For counsel, the principal operational issue is coordination across numerous independent prosecution paths. A centralized claim chart and deadline system can preserve consistency without assuming that one technical or examiner approach will apply throughout the portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 3 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 4 (20%) |
| §102 only | 2 (10%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (55%) |
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.
