Taipei Medical University is currently overseeing 9 pending office actions in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. These 9 actions are distributed across 9 distinct examiners, indicating a broad range of individual oversight. The portfolio is further spread across 6 distinct art units, which reflects the technical variety in the university's pending applications. This distribution is present across the 9 pending office actions currently on record.
The busiest examiner, BECCIA, CHRISTOPHER J, is handling 1 busiest examiner pending action. Given the number of examiners for the pending office actions, the workload is split so that no individual examiner manages multiple cases. The presence of the actions across 6 distinct art units reflects the prosecution strategy within the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. Managing the various examiners requires a flexible approach to address the requirements of the art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 only | 1 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 2 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (38%) |
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.
