Neograf Solutions LLC manages a patent portfolio in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The company currently has 3 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating a diverse and spread-out prosecution environment for the company's active applications.
The busiest examiner for the company is LING, FOR K., who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Because the total count of 3 examiners matches the total count of pending actions, the workload is distributed among several officials. This distribution requires the company to manage separate tracks of communication and potentially different examination styles simultaneously.
The presence of 3 distinct art units suggests that the company's medical and mechanical innovations are being reviewed under different sets of technical guidelines. With multiple matters to address, the company must coordinate its responses across multiple departments at the patent office. This diversified profile necessitates a broad strategic approach to handle the unique requirements of LING, FOR K. and the other assigned examiners.
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.

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.
| Examiner | Apps on this docket | Allow rate | Interview lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| LING, FOR K. | 1 | 53.7% | +18.6% |
| JALALI, AMIR A. | 1 | 78.5% | +22.3% |
| YOON, KEVIN E | 1 | 59.6% | +42.8% |
Cases in front of an examiner whose interview lift is 10 percentage points or more — i.e. interviewed cases historically resolve more favorably than non-interviewed ones. The top 3 ordered by deadline are shown.
