Taiwan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation has 12 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 12 distinct examiners across 7 distinct art units, creating a broad examiner footprint within a more concentrated set of technical groups.
The difference between examiner and art-unit counts indicates that multiple examiners operate within some art-unit coverage. That structure supports shared technical guidance at the art-unit level, but individual examiner histories and response positions still require separate review.
REIDA, MOLLY KAY is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No examiner has a larger recorded allocation, so docket control and consistent claim strategy are more important than concentrating effort on one examiner.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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 | 5 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (40%) |
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.
