LX Semicon Co., Ltd. currently faces 39 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. These matters are spread across 26 distinct examiners and 15 distinct art units, showing a complex prosecution landscape. ANYIKIRE, CHIKAODILI E is the busiest examiner for the company, currently overseeing 7 pending actions.
The presence of 15 distinct art units suggests that the portfolio covers a wide range of communication technologies. While the 39 pending office actions are distributed among 26 distinct examiners, the concentration of 7 pending actions with ANYIKIRE, CHIKAODILI E makes this individual a critical figure for the company's success. Practitioners should monitor the 7 pending cases with this examiner to identify potential trends or recurring rejections that might affect the broader portfolio. Managing 26 distinct examiners across 15 distinct art units requires a robust and coordinated approach to ensure consistency in claim construction and response strategy for all 39 pending office actions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 11 (30%) |
| §102 only | 7 (19%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 7 (19%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (27%) |
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.
