Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
17 pending office actions • 9 art units • 13 examiners • 0 of 17 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 37 patents granted in the last 365 days
Jeol Ltd. has 17 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 13 examiners across 9 art units, while WANG, JING is the busiest examiner with 3 pending actions.
The portfolio has broad examiner and art-unit coverage, limiting the value of a single examiner playbook. Centralized review can identify recurring technology and claim issues, but responses should be adapted to each examination setting. The busiest examiner represents only one part of a widely distributed docket.
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 only | 1 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (12%) |
| §103 only | 5 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (53%) |
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.
