Jeol Ltd. currently has 13 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed among 10 distinct examiners, which means some examiners are responsible for more than one case. The active prosecution is occurring across 3 distinct art units, suggesting technical variety in the pending applications.
LI, LARRY is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently managing 3 pending office actions. This represents a portion of the 13 pending office actions currently active for the company. The involvement of 10 distinct examiners across 3 distinct art units requires the legal team to coordinate with a variety of individuals at the patent office. With LI, LARRY overseeing 3 pending office actions, the results of those specific cases will have a larger impact on the overall success of the portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector compared to the cases handled by the other examiners.
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 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (15%) |
| §103 only | 3 (23%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (54%) |
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.
