Enkris Semiconductor Inc. has 25 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 22 distinct examiners across 12 distinct art units, creating a broad and complex examination footprint. The difference between pending matters and distinct examiners indicates that some examiner assignments cover more than one matter.
KIM, JAY C is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. Counsel should prioritize centralized portfolio tracking, claim-term consistency, and identification of recurring technical issues across the art units. The examiner concentration warrants focused review of those matters, but the overall distribution means that prosecution tactics must remain adaptable to the separate examination contexts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 9 (38%) |
| §102 only | 2 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (46%) |
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.
