LEPU MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD. currently manages 4 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed among 4 distinct examiners, indicating that each application is being reviewed by a different individual. The prosecution is organized across 3 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's filings in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector are grouped into several technical sub-categories.
The busiest examiner for the portfolio is CERIONI, DANIEL LEE, who is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This confirms that the workload is perfectly distributed, as each of the 4 distinct examiners is handling exactly one of the company's pending matters. No single examiner currently manages more than one of the 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
The use of 3 distinct art units for 4 pending office actions indicates a degree of technical focus within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. However, with 4 distinct examiners involved, the company must still account for a variety of examination styles. The presence of 4 distinct examiners for 4 pending office actions requires the company to maintain several simultaneous dialogues with the patent office while following the standards of 3 distinct art units.
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 | 2 (50%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (25%) |
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.
