7 pending office actions • 7 art units • 7 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 11 patents granted in the last 365 days
Inventus Holdings LLC is currently prosecuting 7 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Each of these 7 pending office actions is assigned to a different person, as there are 7 distinct examiners involved. Furthermore, the portfolio is spread across 7 distinct art units, indicating that every single pending matter is being evaluated within a unique technical niche at the patent office. This distribution requires a highly individualized approach for each application.
The busiest examiner, TOUGHIRY, ARYAN D, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. Because each of the 7 distinct examiners handles exactly one action, the workload is entirely decentralized. For a practitioner, this means there is no opportunity to leverage a consistent history with a single examiner across multiple cases. Every one of the 7 pending office actions must be approached as an independent negotiation within its own specific art unit. The high ratio of 7 distinct art units for the active matters highlights the diverse technical nature of the company's semiconductor and circuits portfolio. Success depends on navigating the standards of seven different technical groups.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 (29%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (57%) |
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.
