Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
4 pending office actions • 2 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 4 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 6 patents granted in the last 365 days
Largan Digital Co. Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed among 5 distinct examiners across 2 distinct art units. RAKOWSKI, CARA E is the busiest examiner for this company patent portfolio, with 1 pending office action. The use of 5 different examiners across only 2 distinct art units indicates a high level of examiner variety within a relatively narrow set of technical groups.
With 5 pending office actions and 5 distinct examiners, the portfolio's progress is subject to many different individual perspectives. However, the concentration within 2 distinct art units suggests that the technical subject matter is clustered around core technologies. Practitioners must manage 5 separate examiner relationships while ensuring that the arguments remain consistent across the 2 distinct art units. This distribution means that no single examiner, including RAKOWSKI, CARA E, has a dominant influence over the portfolio's outcome. The variety of examiners provides a range of feedback, which can be useful for refining the company's overall patent strategy in the semiconductor field.
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 |
|---|---|
| Double-patenting only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
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.
