LG Innotek Co., Ltd. has 133 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters span 109 examiners and 46 art units, reflecting a broad prosecution operation across multiple technical groups. The difference between the pending-action count and examiner count indicates that some examiner relationships cover more than one matter, but the docket remains widely distributed.
HALIYUR, PADMA is the busiest examiner, with 5 pending actions. Those matters form a defined coordination cluster within a much larger portfolio. A practitioner managing this docket should combine examiner-level tracking with art-unit segmentation, since neither view alone captures the full distribution of prosecution activity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 14 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 + other | 2 (2%) |
| §103 only | 42 (32%) |
| §102 only | 17 (13%) |
| §112 only | 3 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 63 (47%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
