Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc. has 4 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 4 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units, indicating complete distribution across both examination dimensions.
BLOCH, MICHAEL RYAN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. Each matter should be monitored independently, without assuming that treatment in one examination setting will carry across the docket.
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%) |
| §102 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (25%) |
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.
