Signify Holding B.V. has 102 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The docket is distributed across 85 distinct examiners and 53 distinct art units, indicating broad examiner allocation with recurring technical placement. The art-unit structure offers a useful basis for organizing related matters, while the examiner spread requires detailed tracking of individual prosecution histories.
HARRIS, WILLIAM N is the busiest examiner, with 5 pending matters. That assignment supports targeted examiner-specific review, including comparison of claim treatment and response approaches within the related cases. Portfolio-wide consistency remains important because most matters are assigned outside that examiner relationship.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 20 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. 20 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 | 5 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 11 (10%) |
| §103 only | 24 (23%) |
| §102 only | 6 (6%) |
| §112 only | 15 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 43 (41%) |
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.
