130 pending office actions • 40 art units • 90 examiners • 0 of 130 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 312 patents granted in the last 365 days
Semes Co., Ltd. manages a portfolio with 131 pending office actions, primarily focused in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 131 pending office actions are distributed among 90 distinct examiners. The count of 131 pending office actions is higher than the count of 90 distinct examiners, which indicates that some examiners are handling multiple matters for the company.
The company's prosecution activity is spread across 40 distinct art units. This count of 40 distinct art units is lower than the 90 distinct examiners involved with the portfolio. MOORE, KARLA A is the busiest examiner for the company, currently handling 6 pending office actions. This busiest examiner pending count of 6 is a subset of the 131 total pending office actions.
Practitioners can observe that the 131 pending office actions are reviewed across 40 distinct art units, requiring familiarity with many different specialized groups. The involvement of 90 distinct examiners means the company must manage a wide variety of individual examination styles. The busiest examiner pending count of 6 shows that the workload is distributed across many personnel rather than being concentrated under a few individuals.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 30 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. 30 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 | 6 (5%) |
| §103 only | 52 (40%) |
| §102 only | 4 (3%) |
| §112 only | 12 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 56 (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.
