Nokomis, Inc. is currently navigating 4 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 4 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units, showing a distribution of oversight where the number of examiners matches the total number of pending actions. This matching count between actions and examiners suggests that each pending matter is receiving a unique perspective, although the concentration within 3 art units indicates some overlap in the technical classification of the company's semiconductor and circuit innovations.
The busiest examiner, LE, THANG XUAN, is managing 1 pending office action. With each of the 4 distinct examiners handling 1 pending action, the workload is distributed across the 3 art units involved in the prosecution. For the patent practitioner, this means that while the technology area is consistent, the individual examiner preferences and styles will vary across all 4 pending actions, requiring a tailored approach for each response rather than a unified strategy for a single examiner.
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 | 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.
