15 pending office actions • 11 art units • 15 examiners • 0 of 15 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 10 patents granted in the last 365 days
Tae Technologies Inc. currently has 15 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. There are 15 distinct examiners assigned to these matters, meaning each pending office action is handled by a different individual. This distribution shows no concentration of cases under any single examiner.
The portfolio is spread across 11 distinct art units. NGUYEN, THUY-VI THI is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The presence of 11 distinct art units for 15 pending office actions suggests that the company's semiconductor and optics filings are technically diverse enough to trigger review by many different art units. With 15 distinct examiners and 11 distinct art units, the company must navigate a wide variety of examination styles within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector. This decentralized approach is a key feature of their current prosecution strategy.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 5 (33%) |
| §102 only | 4 (27%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (33%) |
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.
