Technology areas: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics • Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 7 patents granted in the last 365 days
Akoustis Technologies Corp. has 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 3 pending office actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, indicating a diverse administrative footprint for the company's current filings. The presence of 3 distinct examiners suggests that the company's current workload is spread across different specialized groups within the patent office. Such a distribution requires the firm to manage parallel prosecution tracks simultaneously.
The busiest examiner is GORDON, BRYAN P, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This 1 busiest examiner pending office action is part of the total workload for the firm. Because the portfolio involves 3 distinct art units, practitioners must monitor the various trends of the 3 distinct art units to manage the filings effectively. This decentralized structure suggests that the company is pursuing innovations across several different technical niches within the semiconductor field.
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 | 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.
