Invensense Inc. has 17 pending office actions in Communications. The matters involve 16 examiners across 13 art units, indicating that prosecution is distributed across a wide range of examination assignments with some repeated examiner and art-unit activity.
ATMAKURI, VIKAS NMN is the busiest examiner, handling 2 pending matters. The limited concentration means those matters may support targeted consistency checks, but the broader docket requires individualized review.
For counsel, the profile supports a two-level workflow. Examiner-specific analysis is needed for response drafting, while art-unit tracking can identify shared communications issues and help coordinate technical positions across related examination environments.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (12%) |
| §103 only | 3 (19%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (62%) |
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.
