Shenzhen Yinwang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. maintains a large portfolio in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area with 129 pending office actions. These matters are distributed across 49 distinct art units, showing a wide range of technical focus. The prosecution involves 123 distinct examiners, requiring coordination with a large number of individuals at the patent office. This high level of fragmentation across 49 distinct art units suggests that the company's intelligent technologies touch on many different specialized groups.
Jordan T Smith is the busiest examiner for the company, currently managing 2 pending office actions. Despite the total of 129 pending office actions, the workload is decentralized among 123 distinct examiners. This decentralization means that no single examiner has a significant impact on the overall portfolio, but it also presents a challenge in maintaining consistency across many different cases. For a practitioner, the presence of 49 distinct art units means that the company must be prepared for a variety of examination styles and internal office policies. With 129 pending office actions, the portfolio represents a major effort within the mechanical systems sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 37 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. 37 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 | 19 (14%) |
| §103 only | 47 (36%) |
| §102 only | 6 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 59 (45%) |
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.
