Nanjing Lycore Technologies Co. Ltd. has 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 5 distinct examiners. This distribution indicates that each examiner is currently reviewing only one application for the company. The portfolio spans 4 distinct art units, which shows a relatively broad technical footprint within the semiconductors field. WOLF, DARREN E is the busiest examiner, holding 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This workload is shared equally with the other 4 distinct examiners.
Managing 5 pending office actions across 4 distinct art units requires a multi-faceted prosecution strategy. Since there are 5 distinct examiners involved, the company must respond to five different examination styles while coordinating across the 4 distinct art units. The presence of these actions suggests that the company's technology is being evaluated by several different technical subgroups. Because each of the 5 distinct examiners only has 1 busiest examiner pending office action, no single individual dominates the current workload. This decentralized approach means that Nanjing Lycore Technologies Co. Ltd. must maintain a broad awareness of different examiner tendencies across the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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 (60%) |
| §102 only | 1 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (20%) |
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.
