26 pending office actions • 20 art units • 25 examiners • 0 of 26 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 41 patents granted in the last 365 days
Soenghun KIM has 26 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The matters are distributed among 25 examiners and 20 art units, indicating a broad prosecution footprint with limited repetition at the examiner level.
FOLLANSBEE, KEITH TRAN-DANH is the listed busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner is the clearest concentration point in the supplied data, but most matters are assigned elsewhere.
The close relationship between the pending-action total and examiner coverage means that prosecution history is likely to be highly individualized. The art-unit figure shows that some technical or procedural settings recur, even though examiner assignments are widely dispersed.
Counsel can benefit from a coordinated portfolio framework for claim terminology, disclosure support, and recurring technical positions. At the same time, responses should remain examiner-specific because the record does not show a large cluster before any one examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 14 (54%) |
| §102 only | 3 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (19%) |
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.
