Realtek Semiconductor Corporation has 75 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. These matters involve 70 distinct examiners and 53 distinct art units, reflecting broad distribution across both examiner assignments and technical groupings. The examiner count is close to the office-action count, while the art-unit count shows that some technical groups contain multiple matters.
POOS, JOHN W is the busiest examiner, with 3 pending matters. That is a limited concentration within a portfolio otherwise spread across many examination relationships. Counsel may benefit from identifying recurring issues within individual art units while preserving examiner-specific response strategies for the wider docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 20 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. 20 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 (4%) |
| §103 only | 40 (53%) |
| §102 only | 14 (18%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (20%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
