Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
7 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 13 patents granted in the last 365 days
Hisense Laser Display Co. Ltd. currently has 7 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These applications are being handled by 4 distinct examiners, suggesting a moderate level of concentration in the prosecution process. The workload is distributed across 2 distinct art units, which indicates that the company's laser display technologies are being evaluated by a relatively small number of specialized technical departments.
BROOKS, JERRY L. is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently overseeing 3 pending office actions. This means that a significant portion of the 7 pending office actions is under the review of a single individual, making the relationship with BROOKS, JERRY L. a critical factor in the company's overall success. With 4 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units involved, the company can focus its resources on understanding the specific requirements and precedents of these few officials within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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 | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
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.
