69 pending office actions • 22 art units • 61 examiners • 0 of 69 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 199 patents granted in the last 365 days
Delta Electronics Inc. currently manages 66 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are assigned to 59 distinct examiners, reflecting a broad distribution of the workload across the patent office's technical staff. The portfolio is active in 22 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's semiconductor and optical innovations are being reviewed by a variety of specialized groups. Managing 66 pending office actions across 22 distinct art units requires a strategy that can handle diverse technical and procedural requirements.
The busiest examiner for the company is NGUYEN, TUYEN T, who is currently handling 3 busiest examiner pending office actions. This represents a small portion of the 66 pending office actions total, as the rest are spread among the other distinct examiners. The high number of 59 distinct examiners relative to the total actions suggests that most officials are only seeing a single case. Practitioners should be prepared for a wide range of examiner perspectives when addressing the active matters currently in prosecution across these 22 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 | 2 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (4%) |
| §103 only | 31 (45%) |
| §102 only | 3 (4%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 28 (41%) |
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.
