Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
2 pending office actions • 2 art units • 2 examiners • 0 of 2 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
The company patent portfolio for Ranovus Inc. includes 2 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed between 2 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units. The busiest examiner, REVERMAN, CHAD ANDREW, is responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action, which represents half of the current pending workload.
For a practitioner, this distribution shows that each of the 2 pending office actions is being handled by a different examiner in a different specialized group. There is no examiner concentration to leverage, as the 2 distinct examiners operate independently. The involvement of 2 distinct art units suggests that the filings in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics are categorized into different technical niches within the USPTO.
This structure requires the practitioner to manage two separate prosecution tracks. With REVERMAN, CHAD ANDREW and the other examiner each handling 1 busiest examiner pending action, the portfolio's progress is split evenly. Practitioners must be prepared for different examiner styles and art unit standards across these 2 pending office actions, as there is no overlap in personnel or units to provide a consistent baseline for prosecution strategy.
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 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (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.
