Southeast University has 13 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters span 13 distinct examiners and 12 distinct art units, reflecting broad distribution across examination personnel with some shared art-unit involvement.
FULLER, RODNEY EVAN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. The supplied data shows no examiner concentration. Portfolio management should rely on application-level tracking and coordinated technical review, while accounting for the different art-unit settings.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (50%) |
| §112 only | 2 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (25%) |
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.
