Shanghai Tianma Micro-Electronics Co., Ltd. is managing 15 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are spread across 12 distinct art units, showing a wide technical distribution for the pending applications. There are 15 distinct examiners involved, meaning each pending action is assigned to a different individual. This distribution suggests that each application is being reviewed by a different official, requiring a versatile approach to advocacy.
Nathan Andrew Danielsen is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. The high number of 12 distinct art units for 15 pending actions suggests that the company's semiconductor and optics innovations are being reviewed by many different specialized groups. This requires a broad and adaptable prosecution strategy to handle 15 different examiners. Practitioners should focus on identifying commonalities in how these 12 units handle similar subject matter while tailoring their advocacy to the 15 different examiners. The decentralized nature of the 15 examiner relationships ensures that the portfolio is not overly dependent on any single official.
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 | 6 (40%) |
| §102 only | 1 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (47%) |
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.
