15 pending office actions • 4 art units • 14 examiners • 0 of 15 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 18 patents granted in the last 365 days
Goertek Optical Technology Co., Ltd. has 15 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio involves 13 examiners and 4 art units, indicating substantial art-unit grouping alongside mostly distinct examiner assignments.
LAMB II, CHRISTOPHER A is the busiest examiner with 2 pending matters. That limited concentration suggests that art-unit coordination may be more significant than examiner coordination for managing the portfolio. Counsel can align strategies within the shared units while addressing examiner-specific practice where needed.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 | 5 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (53%) |
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.
