Hubbell Incorporated has 36 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Those matters involve 32 distinct examiners across 22 distinct art units, showing that prosecution is distributed broadly within the technology area rather than concentrated in one examination channel.
FIGUEROA, FELIX O is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That examiner-specific grouping is small relative to the overall docket, so a unified response strategy should account for substantial examiner and art-unit variation. Counsel may benefit from tracking recurring claim themes, cited technologies, and amendment outcomes separately by examination group instead of treating the portfolio as a single prosecution stream.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 13 (36%) |
| §102 only | 3 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 18 (50%) |
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.
