Shenzhen Hongjiantou Technology Co. Ltd. is currently managing 2 pending office actions within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 2 pending office actions are distributed among 2 distinct examiners, which indicates that each active case is being evaluated by a different individual. This distribution means that the company prosecution experience is not concentrated under 1 official.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is HENSON, KATINA N, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since the total of 2 pending office actions is spread across 2 distinct examiners, HENSON, KATINA N handles a portion of the workload that is equal to the other examiner involved. This creates a decentralized prosecution environment where the company must address the specific feedback of 2 different people.
The involvement of 2 distinct art units means that the technical review is conducted across different specialized groups at the patent office. With 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, the company must navigate various procedural preferences and technical standards. The company must tailor its responses to the specific requirements of the 2 distinct art units involved in the prosecution of these cases.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| HENSON, KATINA N | 1 | 56.6% | +31.9% |
| OLSON, JENNIFER MAR B | 1 | 54.5% | +19.4% |
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 2 ordered by deadline are shown.
