Qorvo US Inc. has 54 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 44 distinct examiners and 28 distinct art units, reflecting a large and widely distributed prosecution workload. The spread across examination personnel and technical units makes portfolio-level consistency important, but it also requires attention to local examiner treatment.
SHAMIRYAN, NAREH is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. That is a meaningful examiner-specific cluster within the portfolio, although the open work remains distributed among many other examiners. Counsel may benefit from identifying recurring claim, eligibility, novelty, or clarity issues across related matters while preserving art-unit-specific response positions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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 | 3 (6%) |
| §103 only | 18 (35%) |
| §102 only | 8 (15%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (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.
