Goertek Inc. is currently managing 24 pending office actions within the Communications technology area. These actions are spread across 24 distinct examiners, resulting in a situation where every pending action is assigned to a different individual. This distribution occurs across 19 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's Communications portfolio interacts with many different specialized groups at the patent office.
The busiest examiner, AZARI, SEPEHR, is responsible for 1 pending office action. Because the total number of pending office actions is 24 and there are 24 distinct examiners, no examiner holds more than the 1 action assigned to AZARI, SEPEHR. This lack of concentration means that the prosecution experience is distributed, requiring the company to adapt to the specific tendencies of the various individuals across 19 distinct art units. The number of art units relative to the total pending actions indicates that the technical subject matter is varied even within the broader Communications category.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 4 (17%) |
| §103 only | 11 (46%) |
| §102 only | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (29%) |
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.
