Tianjin University has 11 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters are assigned to 11 examiners and 11 art units, indicating that each pending action occupies its own examiner and art-unit setting in the supplied data.
SCHLAK, DANIEL KEITH is the listed busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. There is no stated repeated examiner assignment, so counsel should organize prosecution around individual records rather than an examiner-centered strategy.
The one-to-one distribution also limits the value of inferring a common examination approach from the portfolio alone. A centralized review can still track recurring technical terminology and disclosure support, but each response should be developed from its own action and art-unit context.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (10%) |
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
| §112 only | 3 (30%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
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.
