Terawatt Technology K K has 10 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The docket spans 10 examiners and 8 art units, showing broad distribution across the examining corps and technical organization. PARK, LISA S is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter, so no single examiner accounts for a disproportionate share of the active docket.
The difference between the number of actions and art units indicates that at least some technical groupings contain multiple pending matters, while the examiner distribution remains fully separate. Counsel should use a portfolio workflow that tracks each action by examiner and art unit, with centralized issue coding to identify recurring claim or prior-art themes.
Because the matters are spread across many examination assignments, a response strategy based on one examiner’s preferences would have limited reach. Application-level review remains important, while art-unit tracking can help coordinate related technical positions without assuming identical examination treatment.
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 | 5 (62%) |
| 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.
