Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd. has 11 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 11 distinct examiners and 8 distinct art units, indicating wide examiner dispersion with some concentration at the art-unit level. The examiner count matches the office-action count, so each pending matter has a separate examiner in the supplied data.
QUINTO, KEVIN V is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The absence of a multi-matter examiner means that no single examiner relationship dominates the portfolio. Because fewer art units than examiners are involved, counsel should coordinate art-unit themes while preserving matter-specific examiner analysis.
The profile supports a structured prosecution program built around technical issue categories and art-unit groupings. Reusable claim explanations may improve consistency, but responses should remain tailored to the individual examiner and application record.
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 (40%) |
| §102 only | 3 (30%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (20%) |
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.
