National Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology has 4 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are spread across a matching number of distinct art units and examiners, showing a broad distribution of active cases. The ratio between the 4 pending office actions and the various art units indicates that each matter is being evaluated within a different technical specialty at the USPTO.
PAGE, STEVEN MITCHELL CHR is the busiest examiner, holding 1 pending office action. The workload is distributed evenly, with each of the distinct examiners managing a single matter. For the practitioner, this means that there is no consolidation of cases under a single examiner, requiring a unique approach for each of the pending office actions. The fact that PAGE, STEVEN MITCHELL CHR and the other examiners are each handling only 1 matter suggests a fragmented prosecution landscape for the institute's current semiconductor portfolio.
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 | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (75%) |
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.
