33 pending office actions • 5 art units • 27 examiners • 0 of 33 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 33 patents granted in the last 365 days
Suteng Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. has a large volume of 32 pending office actions in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. These actions are spread across 27 distinct examiners and 5 distinct art units. This high number of examiners relative to art units suggests a broad prosecution strategy with many simultaneous applications. The 32 pending office actions indicate a high level of current activity.
Robert William Vasquez Jr is the busiest examiner for the company, handling 2 pending office actions. With 32 pending office actions and 27 distinct examiners, most examiners are managing only a single action for the portfolio. The 5 distinct art units indicate the technical breadth of the company's current patent applications within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. Coordinating with 27 distinct examiners across 5 distinct art units presents a significant administrative task for the prosecution team.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 13 (39%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (48%) |
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.
