28 pending office actions • 14 art units • 25 examiners • 0 of 28 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 105 patents granted in the last 365 days
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc. has 29 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio spans 26 examiners and 15 art units, demonstrating broad examination coverage with some examiner overlap. The range of art units calls for technical segmentation when reviewing claim scope, prior art, and amendment options.
BURNS, TREMESHA WILLIS is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. Those matters may provide a limited basis for identifying recurring positions, but most prosecution decisions must account for different examiners. A centralized claim strategy should therefore preserve consistency while allowing responses to address each art unit’s examination context.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 8 (29%) |
| §102 only | 3 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (50%) |
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.
