Renesas Electronics America Inc. holds a patent portfolio in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The company is currently managing 9 pending office actions. This level of activity reflects an ongoing engagement with the patent office in these technical fields.
The 9 pending office actions are spread across 9 distinct examiners. These examiners are located in 8 distinct art units. This distribution shows that almost every pending matter is being reviewed by a different examiner, with 8 distinct art units providing a variety of technical oversight environments.
KESSIE, DANIEL is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. Given that there are 9 pending office actions and 9 distinct examiners, KESSIE, DANIEL's workload is consistent with the rest of the examiners. This 1 action is one of the 9 total actions currently facing the company.
The presence of 8 distinct art units suggests that the company's semiconductor and circuit innovations are diverse. Practitioners must coordinate across 9 distinct examiners, which requires a strategy that accounts for the specific nuances of 8 different art units within the USPTO.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 4 (44%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (33%) |
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.
