Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
7 pending office actions • 4 art units • 4 examiners • 0 of 7 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 18 patents granted in the last 365 days
Skyworks Global Pte. Ltd. has 8 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are distributed among 5 examiners and 5 art units, showing a substantial portfolio spread across separate examination channels rather than a single centralized assignment.
SALAZAR JR, JORGE L is the busiest examiner, with 4 pending matters. The concentration warrants consistent review of that examiner’s positions, but the remaining files still require art-unit-specific analysis. Portfolio counsel should track claim terminology, technical disclosures, and response timing across the semiconductor and circuit matters to avoid inconsistent prosecution positions.
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 | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (29%) |
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.
