Peking University has 19 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters are spread across 19 distinct examiners and 18 distinct art units, showing broad distribution across examination resources. That pattern can create varied prosecution conditions, making centralized docket control and consistent claim-development principles important for portfolio management.
PHILLIPS, III, ALBERT M is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending action. The limited concentration at the leading examiner suggests that no single examiner relationship defines the current workload. Counsel may benefit from matter-level preparation that accounts for different art-unit practices, while using common technical themes to maintain coherence across the portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 4 (22%) |
| §112 only | 3 (17%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (50%) |
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.
