National Taiwan University has 29 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 29 distinct examiners across 25 distinct art units, showing broad distribution across the examination structure.
LAMPRECHT, JOEL is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Each examiner is associated with one matter, so there is no recurring examiner relationship on which to base a portfolio-wide response strategy.
The breadth of art-unit assignments supports organizing prosecution by technical subject, claim type, or examination issue. Counsel should maintain consistent disclosure and claim-drafting practices, while treating each office action as a distinct record requiring examiner- and unit-specific analysis.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 | 4 (13%) |
| §103 only | 11 (35%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (42%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
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.
