Shandong University has 11 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The matters are assigned to 11 distinct examiners and 11 distinct art units, so each listed action follows a separate examiner and technical-group path.
MCCLEARY, CAITLIN RENEE is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The profile shows no examiner or art-unit concentration. Counsel can therefore emphasize application-specific analysis while maintaining consistent positions across the separate prosecution records.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 | 6 (55%) |
| §112 only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (36%) |
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.
