Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
12 pending office actions • 8 art units • 10 examiners • 0 of 12 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 7 patents granted in the last 365 days
Sage Electrochromics Inc. currently manages 10 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are assigned to 9 distinct examiners. The prosecution spans 7 distinct art units, reflecting the technical distribution of the company's Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics filings. This distribution across 7 distinct art units indicates that the company's active matters are subject to the specific standards of those assigned art units at the patent office.
The busiest examiner for this portfolio is WILSON, PAISLEY L, who is responsible for 2 pending office actions. This count of 2 pending office actions for the busiest examiner is part of the total 10 pending office actions. With 9 distinct examiners involved, practitioners managing this portfolio must coordinate across individual examiner preferences. The fact that WILSON, PAISLEY L handles this workload highlights the distribution of the current prosecution pipeline. This requires a strategy that accounts for the requirements of the 9 distinct examiners across the 7 distinct art units.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (33%) |
| §102 only | 2 (17%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (42%) |
