Autoneum Management AG currently faces 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are being reviewed by 4 distinct examiners, meaning each examiner is responsible for a single pending matter. This distribution indicates that the company's current prosecution workload is spread evenly across the assigned personnel at the patent office.
The portfolio's active cases are situated within 2 distinct art units. This suggests that the 4 pending office actions involve technologies that span at least two different technical specializations within the broader Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. CHEN, DANIEL GUANG-DIAN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 1 pending action. This reflects the uniform distribution where each of the 4 distinct examiners handles an equal portion of the pending workload.
Practitioners should observe that the 2 distinct art units provide a focused but slightly varied examination environment. With CHEN, DANIEL GUANG-DIAN and three other examiners each managing 1 pending action, the prosecution strategy does not need to account for high-volume interactions with any single individual. The 4 pending office actions represent the entirety of the current examiner engagement for this portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
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.
