48 pending office actions • 8 art units • 26 examiners • 0 of 48 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 105 patents granted in the last 365 days
Coretronic Corporation manages a volume of 46 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 27 distinct examiners, indicating engagement with a variety of patent office personnel. The involvement of 8 distinct art units reflects the technical distribution of the portfolio's current prosecution activities.
The busiest examiner, LE, BAO-LUAN Q, is currently handling 9 pending office actions. This concentration represents a portion of the total 46 pending actions. While the 27 distinct examiners provide a range of perspectives, the workload under the busiest examiner indicates a focal point for a subset of the company's intellectual property. Practitioners should prepare for a range of prosecution outcomes given the distribution across 8 distinct art units. This variety suggests that the company's semiconductor and circuit innovations are being evaluated against the examination standards of the 8 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 25 (52%) |
| §102 only | 2 (4%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (42%) |
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.
