Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
9 pending office actions • 6 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 9 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 12 patents granted in the last 365 days
TEMPTIME Corporation has 9 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These 9 actions are assigned to 9 distinct examiners, resulting in no examiner overlap for the current pending workload. This means that for each of the 9 pending office actions, the company is working with a different individual at the patent office, preventing any consolidation of examiner interactions.
GIBSON, RANDY W is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The portfolio is distributed across 6 distinct art units, suggesting that the company's Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics applications cover several different specialized technical areas. The involvement of 6 distinct art units for 9 pending office actions indicates that the portfolio is technically diverse enough to be reviewed by many different specialized groups.
Because there are 9 distinct examiners for 9 pending office actions, the company faces 9 different individual perspectives during prosecution. The 6 distinct art units provide some concentration, but the majority of examiners are working in different specialized groups within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. This lack of examiner overlap across 6 distinct art units suggests that the company's prosecution strategy must be tailored to 9 different individual styles and 6 different group environments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 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 | 3 (33%) |
| §102 only | 2 (22%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (22%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (11%) |
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.
