Lumus Ltd. manages 14 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These applications are spread across 14 distinct examiners but are concentrated in only 5 distinct art units. The busiest examiner, BOLOTIN, DMITRIY, handles 1 pending office action.
Since there are 14 pending office actions and 14 distinct examiners, the workload is entirely decentralized among the examiners. This indicates that each of the 14 pending matters is being reviewed by a different individual, even though the work is grouped within 5 distinct art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 3 (20%) |
| §102 only | 3 (20%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (13%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (33%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (7%) |
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.
