29 pending office actions • 26 art units • 28 examiners • 0 of 29 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 101 patents granted in the last 365 days
Nuvoton Technology Corporation has 31 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio involves 30 distinct examiners and 28 distinct art units, indicating nearly complete distribution across both examiner and technical assignments.
KIM, JAY C is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. The limited concentration makes examiner-specific coordination relevant only to a small portion of the docket. Matter-level preparation, supported by consistent semiconductor claim analysis, is the more practical portfolio approach.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 2 (7%) |
| §103 only | 16 (55%) |
| §102 only | 2 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (28%) |
| 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.
