Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
31 pending office actions • 19 art units • 31 examiners • 0 of 31 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 173 patents granted in the last 365 days
AUO Corporation has 34 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio involves 34 examiners across 20 art units, so every pending action has a distinct examiner while the work is distributed among many technical examination groups.
AZARI, SEPEHR is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. There is consequently no recurring examiner relationship across the pending docket. Counsel should prioritize portfolio-wide consistency in semiconductor, circuit, and optics terminology while preserving detailed responses for each art-unit context. The twenty art-unit assignments make classification tracking central to identifying repeat issues and coordinating claim amendments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 14 (45%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| §112 only | 2 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (35%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
