LS Cable & System Ltd. is currently managing 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. This concentration suggests that multiple active cases are being handled within the same specialized departments of the patent office, which may lead to more consistent examination outcomes across the portfolio. Having 5 actions spread over 2 art units indicates a technical focus within a subset of the semiconductors and optics field.
MAYO III, WILLIAM H is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 3 pending office actions. This 3 busiest examiner pending count is part of the 5 total pending office actions for the company. While there are 3 distinct examiners in total, the workload is not evenly distributed among them. For a patent practitioner, this concentration with a single examiner means that the results of office actions from this individual may significantly influence the strategy for 3 of the company's pending applications.
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 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
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.
