The Hong Kong University Of Science And Technology (Guangzhou) has 1 pending office action in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The matter is assigned to 1 distinct examiner and 1 distinct art unit, creating a single recorded prosecution path.
TAN, OLIVER E is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Counsel can concentrate on the specific office action, the assigned art-unit practice, and the claim strategy for that matter. The available data does not indicate a broader portfolio pattern requiring coordination.
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 only | 1 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (11%) |
| §103 only | 8 (30%) |
| §102 only | 2 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (44%) |
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.
