Diodes Incorporated currently manages 6 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 6 actions are assigned to 6 distinct examiners, which means that every active matter is being reviewed by a different individual. This distribution requires a prosecution strategy that can adapt to 6 unique examiner styles relative to the 6 pending actions. The portfolio is active across 4 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's semiconductor innovations are concentrated within a few specialized technical groups at the USPTO.
ZHANG, JUE is the busiest examiner, currently responsible for 1 pending office action. Since each of the 6 pending office actions is handled by a different examiner, no single official has a dominant influence over the company's current docket. The 6 pending office actions represent a moderately sized and diverse set of active matters spread across 4 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 2 (29%) |
| §102 only | 3 (43%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
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.
