Beijing Superstring Academy of Memory Technology has 7 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 7 examiners and 7 art units, indicating complete distribution across the supplied examiner and art-unit assignments.
TALBOT, BRIAN K is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because no examiner has multiple pending matters, counsel should rely on centralized docket controls, technical issue coding, and careful matter-specific preparation.
The broad assignment pattern limits the value of a single examiner-focused strategy but supports portfolio-level consistency in claim terminology and evidence.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 | 3 (43%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
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.
