Fastcap Ultracapacitors LLC has 3 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Each matter is assigned to a distinct examiner and a distinct art unit, so the profile shows complete dispersion.
GRAY, GEORGE STERLING is the busiest identified examiner, with 1 pending matter. Prosecution planning should therefore remain record-specific, with no shared examiner or art-unit pattern to guide all matters.
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.
