Schneider Electric SE has 75 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio spans 71 distinct examiners and 47 distinct art units, demonstrating broad prosecution activity across technical units and examination personnel. The examiner distribution is wide, although some examiners handle more than one matter, and the art-unit footprint includes repeated activity in selected units.
SAEED, AHMED M is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. No single examiner dominates the workload, so counsel should prioritize portfolio-level deadline systems and recurring semiconductor, circuit, and optics issues while tailoring claim responses to each examiner and art-unit setting.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 only | 3 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (10%) |
| §103 only | 25 (35%) |
| §102 only | 9 (13%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 23 (32%) |
| 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.
