Elekta AB has 19 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The docket spans 18 distinct examiners and 13 distinct art units, demonstrating substantial dispersion across examination personnel and a meaningful range of technical assignments.
CASLER, BRIAN L is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The small cluster does not account for most of the pending activity, which is spread among other examiners. Portfolio management should therefore emphasize coordinated technical positions, careful art-unit tracking, and responses tailored to the individual prosecution history of each case.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (41%) |
| §103 only | 2 (12%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (29%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (6%) |
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.
