114 pending office actions • 99 art units • 114 examiners • 0 of 114 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 191 patents granted in the last 365 days
Seoul National University R&DB Foundation has 113 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The portfolio involves 113 distinct examiners across 98 distinct art units. The matching action and examiner figures indicate distinct examiner assignments for the pending matters, while the art-unit figure shows extensive technical dispersion across the biotechnology and pharmaceutical docket.
PECHE, JORGE O is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Examiner concentration therefore offers no evident portfolio-wide coordination point. A scalable management process should organize matters by technology and art unit, while preserving separate analysis of claim scope, cited art, and amendment strategy for each examination record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 | 22 (19%) |
| §103 only | 35 (31%) |
| §102 only | 2 (2%) |
| §112 only | 5 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 47 (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.
