BEIJING CHJ INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. has 4 pending office actions distributed across the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters involve 4 distinct examiners and are spread across 4 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed by a different examiner in a separate art unit, requiring the company to manage four unique prosecution paths simultaneously. The lack of overlap in examiners or art units suggests a diverse range of semiconductor technologies within the portfolio.
PEERCE, MATTHEW J is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the workload is evenly divided among the reviewers. This structure requires the company to navigate four different examination styles simultaneously within the semiconductor sector. Practitioners should be prepared for varied feedback, as no two pending actions are being evaluated by the same individual or within the same art unit.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §103 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
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.
