BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. holds a significant position in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area, with 491 pending office actions. This large number of active cases indicates a high-volume filing strategy aimed at securing a broad range of protections. These actions are distributed among 353 distinct examiners, suggesting that the company's applications are being reviewed by a wide variety of USPTO staff.
The prosecution activity spans 103 distinct art units. This diversity of art units shows that the company's innovations cover many different technical aspects of semiconductors and optics. For practitioners, this means that the 491 pending office actions require expertise across many different examination groups, each with its own specific focus and trends.
NGUYEN, SOPHIA T is the busiest examiner for BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd., with 8 pending office actions. Although this is the highest number for a single examiner, it represents only a small portion of the 491 pending office actions in the portfolio. The fact that 353 distinct examiners are involved highlights a decentralized prosecution landscape where no single individual's decisions dominate the company's overall patenting outcomes.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 85 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. 85 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 only | 4 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 24 (5%) |
| §103 only | 174 (36%) |
| §102 only | 39 (8%) |
| §112 only | 18 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 9 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 7 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 212 (43%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
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.
