National Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology has 5 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 5 distinct examiners, including PAGE, STEVEN MITCHELL CHR, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. The portfolio is active in 3 distinct art units.
The use of 5 distinct examiners for the pending office actions indicates a decentralized prosecution experience. Each case is being handled by a different person, which requires the applicant to manage separate professional relationships. This structure means the company must adapt to the individual examination styles and requirements of the examiners simultaneously.
The distribution across 3 distinct art units further adds to the complexity, as the company must navigate the different procedural standards of separate USPTO divisions. PAGE, STEVEN MITCHELL CHR is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action, reflecting the distribution of work across the examiner pool. Practitioners should be prepared for a wide range of feedback across the pending office actions.
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 | 2 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (60%) |
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.
