RichWave Technology Corp. currently has 7 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio is characterized by examiner diversity, with 7 distinct examiners assigned to the 7 pending actions. This indicates that each of the company's active matters is being reviewed by a different individual, requiring a tailored approach for each application. The technical breadth is also notable, as the 7 pending office actions are spread across 6 distinct art units.
This count of 6 art units is lower than the 7 distinct examiners involved in the prosecution. CHEN, ZHITONG is the busiest examiner, but with only 1 pending office action, this examiner's influence is limited to a single matter. With the busiest examiner's load being 1 out of 7 total actions, the company's prosecution risk is distributed across the USPTO. The involvement of 6 distinct art units suggests that the company's semiconductor innovations fall under multiple specialized groups.
The role of CHEN, ZHITONG as the busiest examiner involves 1 pending office action, which is the same count as the other examiners if the 7 actions are divided among the 7 distinct examiners. This distribution ensures that the company is exposed to a variety of examination standards. The spread across 6 distinct art units provides a foundation for its Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics portfolio, as no single art unit controls the majority of the active cases.
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 | 4 (57%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
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.
