Brisby Inc. has 2 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are handled by 2 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. GIBSON, RANDY W is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending action. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is being reviewed independently by different examiners in different groups.
The ratio of pending actions to examiners and art units suggests that the company's current patent applications cover distinct technical subjects within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. Because there is no overlap in examiners or art units, the outcomes of the 2 pending office actions are likely to be independent of one another. Practitioners should be prepared for different examination styles and timelines for each of the two matters.
This decentralized structure requires the company to adapt its prosecution strategy to the different expectations of each unit and examiner. In the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics area, this can involve navigating different types of technical hurdles. The lack of concentration prevents a centralized point of negotiation for the current pending workload, necessitating a broad approach to portfolio management across the 2 distinct art units.
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 | 1 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (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.
