Shining 3D Tech Co. Ltd. has 12 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 12 distinct examiners and 9 distinct art units, showing full examiner dispersion across a smaller set of art-unit settings.
HANCOCK, DIANA ROBERT is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel should prioritize detailed matter-level review and use the recurring art-unit assignments to inform, but not dictate, response strategy.
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 | 3 (25%) |
| §103 only | 2 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (58%) |
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.
