Intel Corporation has 1207 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The docket involves 831 distinct examiners and 249 distinct art units, creating a prosecution operation distributed across a very large examiner population and a wide technical structure.
SPANN, COURTNEY P is the busiest examiner, with 10 pending matters. The size and distribution of the docket call for formal portfolio governance, coordinated claim strategy, and art-unit-specific monitoring. Examiner-level insights can support individual responses, but no single examiner relationship can organize the full profile.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 323 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. 323 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 | 4 (0%) |
| §101 + other | 128 (11%) |
| §103 only | 475 (40%) |
| §102 only | 66 (6%) |
| §112 only | 32 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 20 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 12 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 399 (33%) |
| No statute on record | 63 (5%) |
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.
