Electric Power Systems Inc. has 6 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 5 examiners across 5 art units, indicating that most examination assignments are distinct even though one examiner handles more than one pending matter.
TRISCHLER, JOHN T is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That concentration supports checking for recurring issues between those matters, while the remaining examiner and art-unit distribution calls for separate review across the broader docket.
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 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (83%) |
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.
