Lumileds LLC has 37 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio spans 35 distinct examiners and 21 distinct art units, reflecting substantial distribution across both examination personnel and technical groups. The difference between pending matters and distinct examiners indicates that some examiner assignments recur, while the art-unit spread shows an even broader technical footprint.
IQBAL, HAMNA FATHIMA is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That assignment is the clearest examiner-level concentration identified in the data, but it remains limited relative to the overall portfolio. Counsel should use centralized docket control, identify related claim themes, and coordinate responses without assuming that one examiner's approach governs the broader portfolio.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 10 (28%) |
| §112 only | 4 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (61%) |
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.
