Technische Universiteit Delft has 3 pending office actions focused in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The portfolio shows fragmentation, as these actions are spread across 3 distinct examiners and the same number of distinct art units.
LESTER RUSHIN III serves as the busiest examiner for the entity, though they are responsible for only 1 pending office action. This distribution indicates that each of the distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units manages exactly 1 pending action.
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 | 2 (33%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
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.
