21 pending office actions • 11 art units • 20 examiners • 0 of 21 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 71 patents granted in the last 365 days
Allegro MicroSystems LLC has 19 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Those matters involve 18 distinct examiners and 11 distinct art units, indicating that prosecution is distributed across both examiner assignments and technical groupings rather than concentrated in one examination channel.
ISLA, RICHARD is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration around that examiner means the portfolio requires coordination across a broad prosecution team. Counsel may benefit from maintaining consistent claim strategy and technical explanations across the 11 art units while tracking examiner-specific issues separately.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 8 (38%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (48%) |
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.
