Lextar Electronics Corporation is overseeing 8 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are spread across 4 distinct art units, showing a diverse range of technical focuses within the semiconductor sector. The prosecution involves 8 distinct examiners, which means each pending action is assigned to a different individual. This ratio of 8 distinct examiners to 8 pending office actions suggests that the company does not currently have a concentration of cases under any single official.
JENNIFER L ZUBAJLO is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently handling 1 pending office action. Since there are 8 distinct examiners for the 8 pending office actions, the company must coordinate with a high number of individuals relative to the total volume of pending work. Managing these 8 distinct examiners across 4 distinct art units requires a broad prosecution strategy that accounts for the specific tendencies of each individual. The 1 pending action for the busiest examiner highlights how thinly the portfolio is spread across the patent office staff.
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 (38%) |
| §102 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (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.
