NuFlare Technology Inc. has 10 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 9 examiners and 5 art units, indicating broad examiner coverage within a smaller set of art-unit environments.
WANG, JING is the listed busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. That examiner represents the only stated repeated examiner assignment, while the art-unit distribution indicates that several matters are examined within shared technical groupings.
The combination of many examiners and fewer art units makes art-unit comparison particularly useful for identifying recurring treatment of semiconductor or optical claim features. Such comparisons can inform a consistent technical narrative without assuming identical examiner positions.
Counsel should maintain a unified record of amendments, cited references, and claim constructions across the portfolio. Response drafting can then use common technical support where appropriate while addressing the distinct examination posture of each examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 3 (30%) |
| §112 only | 3 (30%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (40%) |
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.
