Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
3 pending office actions • 3 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1 patents granted in the last 365 days
Fasford Technology Co. Ltd. is managing 3 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio is distributed across 3 distinct art units and 3 distinct examiners, showing a one-to-one ratio of actions to examiners. This spread across 3 distinct art units indicates that the company's semiconductor innovations are being evaluated under different sets of technical criteria within the USPTO.
SABUR, ALIA is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 pending office action. With 3 examiners assigned to the 3 pending office actions, the current prosecution workload is evenly divided. For the practitioner, this means that each of the 3 matters requires an independent strategy, as there is no overlap in examiners or art units. The involvement of SABUR, ALIA in only 1 pending office action highlights the individualized nature of the current prosecution for the company's portfolio.
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 |
|---|---|
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (100%) |
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.
