The Research Foundation for the State University of New York currently has 54 pending office actions. These matters are situated in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The prosecution involves 54 distinct examiners. This distribution indicates a decentralized examination process.
The portfolio is diverse, spanning 32 distinct art units. AYUB, HINA F is the busiest examiner, though they are responsible for 1 pending office action. Practitioners must manage a range of examiner interactions across the 32 art units. The 32 art units suggest that the foundation's research covers a spectrum of biotechnological and pharmaceutical disciplines. This highly decentralized structure requires a versatile prosecution strategy that can adapt to 54 unique examiner styles across more than thirty technical departments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 (5%) |
| §103 only | 16 (29%) |
| §102 only | 3 (5%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 25 (45%) |
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.
