30 pending office actions • 8 art units • 21 examiners • 0 of 30 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 35 patents granted in the last 365 days
Suteng Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. has 28 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matters involve 21 examiners and 8 art units, indicating broad examiner dispersion within a relatively concentrated set of technical examination environments.
VASQUEZ JR, ROBERT WILLIAM is the listed busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That examiner represents the strongest stated concentration in the profile and may provide a useful focal point for reviewing recurring response issues.
The difference between the pending-action total and examiner coverage indicates that several examiners handle multiple matters. The smaller art-unit figure suggests that related transportation, mechanical, or systems issues may recur within shared examination groups, creating opportunities for coordinated claim terminology and technical explanations.
Counsel can use the repeated art-unit and examiner assignments to identify common prior-art themes and avoid inconsistent amendments. The presence of multiple prosecution settings still requires matter-specific analysis, particularly where similar claim language may be evaluated under different examiner practices.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 12 (40%) |
| §102 only | 3 (10%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (40%) |
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.
