The Research Foundation for the State University of New York has 54 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The portfolio spans 54 distinct examiners and 42 distinct art units. Each action has a separate examiner assignment, while the lower art unit count indicates that several technical units contain matters handled by different examiners.
AYUB, HINA F is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Portfolio strategy should therefore not depend on an examiner relationship. Centralized guidance on claim support, experimental disclosure, and recurring prior-art issues can help maintain consistency across the many examiner and art unit settings.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 | 3 (6%) |
| §103 only | 16 (30%) |
| §102 only | 4 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 5 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 23 (43%) |
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.
