5 pending office actions • 4 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 5 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 8 patents granted in the last 365 days
Enkris Semiconductor (Wuxi) Ltd. has 6 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 5 distinct examiners across 5 distinct art units, showing a portfolio distributed across several examination assignments. The pending work therefore requires coordination without assuming that one examiner’s treatment will control the others.
KIM, JAY C is the busiest examiner with 2 pending matters. That concentration gives counsel a defined examiner relationship to monitor while the remaining matters require separate prosecution assessments. A coordinated review of claim terminology, cited references, and technical disclosures can improve consistency across the semiconductor portfolio without erasing application-specific distinctions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (80%) |
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.
