Technische Universiteit Eindhoven manages 7 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 7 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units. This distribution indicates that each pending matter is handled by a different examiner, with the workload spread across 4 specialized divisions.
The busiest examiner, NATH, SUMAN KUMAR, is responsible for 1 pending office action. With 7 distinct examiners and 4 distinct art units involved, the portfolio shows a high level of technical diversity within the semiconductors and optics sectors. This spread ensures that the university's innovations are reviewed by a variety of examiners across multiple art units. The 7 pending office actions are evaluated by 7 distinct examiners, providing a range of perspectives across the 4 distinct art units. NATH, SUMAN KUMAR handles 1 pending office action as part of this distribution.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
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.
