University of Science and Technology Beijing has 3 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. SU, XIAOWEI is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter.
The pending activity is distributed across separate examination settings. This makes individual analysis important for composition, processing, and material-property claims, because different examiners and units may emphasize different aspects of the disclosure and prior art.
No examiner is identified with more than the stated 1 pending matter. Counsel can coordinate the portfolio through shared technical definitions and evidence, while tailoring amendments to each action and maintaining clear support for any change in claim scope.
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 | 2 (67%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (33%) |
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.
