Sensortek Technology Corp. is managing 6 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners. The workload spans 5 distinct art units, showing a distribution across related technical examination groups. This variety of 5 distinct art units for only 6 pending office actions suggests that the company's technology is being scrutinized by several different specialized sections of the USPTO.
RAMALLO, GUSTAVO G is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, with 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This examiner's share is consistent with the other examiners, as the 6 pending office actions are split evenly among the 6 distinct examiners. No single examiner has a disproportionate influence on the company's current 6 pending office actions.
The practitioner must manage 6 distinct examiners across 5 distinct art units, which requires a high degree of administrative oversight. Even though all matters are within Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics, the spread across 5 distinct art units means that different examination guidelines may be in play. The 1 to 1 ratio of 6 pending office actions to 6 distinct examiners ensures that each matter receives independent review, but it also increases the variety of examiner temperaments the company must address.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 3 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
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.
