AUO Corporation has 43 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These cases are distributed across 21 distinct art units, showing a technical range within the semiconductor sector. The involvement of 41 distinct examiners means that most pending actions are being reviewed by different individuals.
Liu, Shan is the busiest examiner with 2 pending office actions. With 43 pending office actions and 41 distinct examiners, there is very little examiner overlap. The 21 distinct art units further suggest that the portfolio is subject to a variety of examination practices across the USPTO.
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 | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 20 (48%) |
| §102 only | 3 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (38%) |
