Netease (hangzhou) Network Co., Ltd. has 25 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The portfolio spans 19 distinct examiners but only 3 distinct art units, indicating extensive examiner distribution within a relatively concentrated set of examination groups. This pattern supports art-unit-level coordination while requiring careful matter-level tracking for examiner-specific issues.
LARSEN, CARL VICTOR is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. The Larsen matters form a clear review group for consistency in claim treatment, disclosures, and response positions. They should not, however, be used as a proxy for the broader docket because most examiner assignments are distributed elsewhere.
The combination of repeated art-unit placement and broad examiner coverage makes a two-level workflow practical. Counsel can monitor recurring art-unit practices centrally, then adapt arguments and amendments to each assigned examiner and application record.
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 only | 5 (21%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (29%) |
| §103 only | 7 (29%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (17%) |
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.
