Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd. has 211 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio spans 181 distinct examiners and 85 distinct art units, reflecting extensive examiner distribution and repeated activity across units. This scale supports structured docket management with technology and art-unit segmentation.
BELL, LAUREN R is the busiest listed examiner, with 4 pending matters. The assignment is recurring but represents a limited part of the portfolio. Counsel should coordinate shared technical positions across related matters while preserving examiner-specific response planning for the broader docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 48 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. 48 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 | 2 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (3%) |
| §103 only | 89 (44%) |
| §102 only | 14 (7%) |
| §112 only | 13 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 8 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 8 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 58 (29%) |
| No statute on record | 3 (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.
