Asphetek Solution Inc. currently maintains 5 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners, showing a direct ratio of active matters to assigned personnel. The portfolio spans 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the semiconductor and optics technologies involved are categorized across multiple specialized divisions at the patent office. This diversity in art units requires a prosecution approach that can adapt to the specific examination standards of different groups.
Michael J Jansen II is identified as the busiest examiner, currently overseeing 1 pending office action. The concentration of pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field indicates a focused research and development effort. Because the pending actions are handled by distinct examiners, the company must manage multiple simultaneous dialogues across 3 distinct art units to advance its intellectual property goals. This structure suggests that the company is pursuing a range of innovations within its chosen technology sector.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (80%) |
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.
