Teledyne Dalsa B V is currently navigating 4 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed across 4 distinct examiners, indicating a diverse range of individual reviews. However, these examiners are situated within only 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the technical subject matter is concentrated in specific areas of the patent office. This combination of multiple examiners within a limited number of art units can lead to varied examination styles being applied to related technologies.
HO, ALLEN C is identified as the busiest examiner for this portfolio, with 1 pending office action. Given that there are 4 pending office actions and 4 distinct examiners, the workload is distributed evenly, with each examiner handling 1 pending matter. This distribution shows that no single examiner dominates the company's current prosecution landscape. For the applicant, this means managing separate dialogues with each reviewer, which requires a versatile approach to addressing office actions.
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 |

| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (100%) |
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.
