Zju-Hangzhou Global Scientific And Technological Innovation Center is currently prosecuting a portfolio in the Communications technology area. There are 3 pending office actions across the portfolio, which are being handled by 3 distinct examiners. This distribution suggests that each pending matter is receiving attention from a different official. The workload is distributed across 2 distinct art units, indicating some technical overlap in the subject matter being examined.
SHAH, PARAS D is the busiest examiner for this applicant, with 1 pending office action currently assigned. Since there are 3 pending office actions in total, the remaining 2 actions are managed by the other 2 distinct examiners. This spread across 2 distinct art units and 3 examiners requires a coordinated approach to ensure consistency in the Communications space. The 3 pending office actions represent the current hurdle for the Innovation Center as it seeks to expand its intellectual property holdings. Each of the 2 distinct art units provides a unique technical context for these examinations.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (33%) |
| §103 only | 1 (33%) |
| 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.
