11 pending office actions • 3 art units • 10 examiners • 0 of 11 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 148 patents granted in the last 365 days
Japan Aviation Electronics Industry Limited currently has 11 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed among 10 distinct examiners. The portfolio is contained within 3 distinct art units.
The busiest examiner for the company is KRATT, JUSTIN M, who manages 2 pending office actions. The other distinct examiners involved in the portfolio handle the remaining actions. This distribution shows that most examiners are assigned to a single pending office action. The ratio of 11 pending office actions to 10 distinct examiners indicates a broad spread of responsibility across the patent office staff.
The concentration of the workload within the 3 distinct art units means that the USPTO has grouped these technologies into these specific units. This occurs even as the company interacts with 10 different individuals at the patent office to progress its 11 pending office actions. Practitioners must manage these various examiner relationships while adhering to the specific practices of the 3 distinct art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (27%) |
| §102 only | 2 (18%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (45%) |
