Compal Electronics Inc. is currently managing 11 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed among 11 distinct examiners. This ratio between actions and examiners indicates that the company is navigating a wide array of individual examiner preferences and styles.
The portfolio is active across 4 distinct art units. This suggests that while the examiners are numerous, the technical focus remains within 4 specific administrative groups at the patent office. CHOWDHURY, ROCKSHANA D is identified as the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending action.
The distribution of the actions across the art units requires a prosecution strategy that balances broad examiner engagement with concentrated technical oversight. Since CHOWDHURY, ROCKSHANA D and other examiners each manage 1 action, the company must maintain separate prosecution tracks for each filing. This decentralized approach in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector prevents any single examiner from becoming a bottleneck for the entire portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (18%) |
| §103 only | 3 (27%) |
| §102 only | 2 (18%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (27%) |
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.
