Nicoya Lifesciences Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. These matters involve 4 examiners and 3 art units, so the portfolio is distributed across examination assignments while remaining concentrated in a limited number of technical units.
AKANBI, ISIAKA O is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner holds a larger identified share, supporting matter-specific preparation rather than reliance on one recurring examination relationship.
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 (25%) |
| §102 only | 1 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (50%) |
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.
