Innolux Corporation maintains a portfolio of 141 pending office actions concentrated in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 123 distinct examiners, indicating a broad distribution of the workload. With 36 distinct art units involved, the prosecution strategy must account for a wide variety of technical niches and administrative practices within the patent office.
CHANG, CHARLES S is the busiest examiner for this company, currently overseeing 4 busiest examiner pending actions. While this is the highest concentration for an individual, it represents a portion of the 141 pending office actions. The presence of 123 distinct examiners suggests that many cases are being handled by different individuals, requiring a highly individualized approach to each response. The complexity of managing 36 distinct art units further highlights the diverse technical scope of the portfolio. Success in this technology area requires a deep understanding of how different examiners across many units interpret semiconductor and optical claims.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 28 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. 28 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 only | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (1%) |
| §103 only | 61 (43%) |
| §102 only | 13 (9%) |
