Inertech Ip LLC currently manages 7 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed across 6 distinct art units, indicating a broad technical scope for the company's current filings. The prosecution involves 7 distinct examiners, which suggests that each pending action is being handled by a different individual at the USPTO.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is CRUM, JACOB R, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. Since there are multiple pending actions in total and several distinct examiners, the workload is distributed across the assigned personnel. Practitioners should note that no single examiner holds a majority of the current workload, requiring individual strategies for each of the 6 distinct art units involved.
The presence of 6 distinct art units within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector implies that the company's innovations span several different classification specialties. With 7 pending office actions to address, the legal team must coordinate responses across these separate administrative divisions. Monitoring the specific tendencies of CRUM, JACOB R and the other examiners will be essential for achieving successful outcomes in this technical field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 1 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
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.
