111 pending office actions • 25 art units • 88 examiners • 0 of 111 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 295 patents granted in the last 365 days
NANYA TECHNOLOGY Corporation maintains a large-scale patent portfolio within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area, currently managing 102 pending office actions. These actions are distributed across 80 distinct examiners, indicating a very broad engagement with the patent office. The workload spans 25 distinct art units, reflecting the diverse technical nature of the company's semiconductor innovations.
The distribution of 102 pending office actions among 80 distinct examiners suggests that most examiners are handling only a limited number of cases for the company. This wide dispersion across 25 distinct art units requires a robust management strategy to handle the various procedural and technical requirements of different examination groups. The high volume of actions highlights the company's significant ongoing investment in intellectual property.
MAZUMDER, DIDARUL A is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 5 pending office actions currently under review. Although this is the highest concentration for any single examiner, these 5 actions represent a small portion of the total workload. This confirms that the company's prosecution risk is well-diversified across the 80 distinct examiners involved.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 (1%) |
| §103 only | 42 (38%) |
| §102 only | 8 (7%) |
| §112 only | 6 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 47 (42%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
