National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University manages a company patent portfolio in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The portfolio currently has 22 pending office actions. This high volume indicates a very active and diverse prosecution landscape for the university's biological and pharmaceutical research, reflecting a broad commitment to intellectual property protection across many different projects.
The prosecution work is widely distributed among 22 distinct examiners and 18 distinct art units. This distribution shows that the university's patent applications are being reviewed by a large number of individuals across many different technical areas of the patent office. This suggests a broad technological scope and a decentralized prosecution strategy, where each application is handled by a specialist in its specific field. The use of 18 distinct art units highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the university's research output.
MICHAEL ANGELO RIGA is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This examiner's workload represents a very small fraction of the total 22 pending office actions. The fact that the busiest examiner only has 1 action highlights the extreme dispersion of the university's active filings across the 22 distinct examiners. This level of diversification minimizes the impact of any single examiner's tendencies on the overall success of the university's patent portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (9%) |
| §103 only | 6 (27%) |
| §102 only | 2 (9%) |
| §112 only | 2 (9%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (41%) |
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.
