Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
36 pending office actions • 8 art units • 31 examiners • 0 of 36 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 49 patents granted in the last 365 days
Actutek Corporation has 35 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Those matters involve 30 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, showing that many examiner assignments are grouped within a relatively smaller set of technology units.
AYALA DELGADO, ANTHONY is the busiest listed examiner, with 2 pending actions. The examiner workload is modest relative to the full docket, while the art-unit distribution suggests that art-unit-level coordination may be more useful than focusing on a single examiner.
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 | 8 (22%) |
| §103 only | 5 (14%) |
| §102 only | 6 (17%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (42%) |
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.
