Shinko Electric Industries Co., Ltd. has 19 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 19 distinct examiners across 9 art units, indicating broad examiner allocation throughout the portfolio.
LIU, KENDRICK X is associated with 1 pending matter. Because examiner activity is distributed, counsel should emphasize centralized monitoring of recurring technical issues without assuming that an argument effective in one assignment will transfer to another.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (32%) |
| §102 only | 2 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (58%) |
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.
