20 pending office actions • 10 art units • 17 examiners • 0 of 20 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 84 patents granted in the last 365 days
Fujikura Ltd. maintains a portfolio of 20 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed among 17 distinct examiners and 10 distinct art units, indicating that while the portfolio is broad, there is some concentration of cases. The busiest examiner, RAHLL, JERRY T, is responsible for 2 pending office actions, which is a small fraction of the total 20.
With 17 distinct examiners involved, many examiners are handling only a single case for the company. The use of 10 distinct art units for 20 pending office actions suggests that the company's innovations are spread across several different technical specialties within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. Practitioners can expect to manage 17 different examiner relationships, although the concentration in 10 distinct art units may allow for some consistency in procedural expectations.
The 20 pending office actions require a coordinated strategy to handle the various deadlines across 10 different administrative groups. This level of diversity in examiners and art units helps to mitigate the risk of a single examiner's delay affecting the entire portfolio. The 2 pending office actions with RAHLL, JERRY T represent a minor point of consolidation in an otherwise dispersed prosecution landscape.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 | 7 (35%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (60%) |
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.
