Sharp Display Technology Corporation has 41 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The portfolio spans 39 distinct examiners and 25 distinct art units, showing broad examiner distribution across a more limited set of technical groupings.
LAMB, CHRISTOPHER RAY is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending actions. The low activity with the busiest examiner relative to the full portfolio indicates that no single examiner relationship drives the reported docket. Portfolio management should emphasize consistent tracking across many examiner contacts, with art-unit review used to identify technical issues that may recur.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 19 (49%) |
| §102 only | 3 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (38%) |
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.
