Amkor Technology Singapore Holding Pte. Ltd. maintains a portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area with 20 pending office actions. These actions are distributed among 18 distinct examiners, indicating a very broad engagement with the patent office. This high number of examiners suggests that the company's applications are being reviewed by a wide variety of individuals with potentially different examination styles.
The prosecution activity spans 6 distinct art units. This diversity shows that the company's semiconductor technologies are spread across multiple technical classifications within the office. BEHA, CAROLINE is identified as the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 3 pending office actions. This specific examiner's workload represents a small fraction of the 20 total pending actions.
Because the busiest examiner handles only 3 pending office actions, the portfolio's success is not overly dependent on any single individual. The 18 distinct examiners involved provide a significant amount of variety in the prosecution process. Practitioners must manage this complex landscape by adapting to the specific requirements of 6 distinct art units while monitoring the progress of many independent applications. This distributed structure requires a robust management strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 10 (45%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (45%) |
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.
