Epistar Corporation has 11 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are spread across 11 examiners and 5 art units, showing broad examiner distribution alongside repeated art-unit exposure.
JEAN BAPTISTE, WILNER is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Because no examiner carries more than that identified workload, docket management should emphasize coordination across examiner-specific responses while monitoring recurring art-unit issues.
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 | 4 (36%) |
| §102 only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (55%) |
