8 pending office actions • 6 art units • 8 examiners • 0 of 8 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 11 patents granted in the last 365 days
TEMPTIME Corporation operates in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area with 7 pending office actions. These actions are assigned to 7 distinct examiners across 6 distinct art units. This high degree of dispersion indicates that the 7 pending office actions cover a broad array of technical subjects, each subject to the specific standards of a different art unit. Practitioners must manage 7 different examiner relationships to resolve these pending office actions.
The busiest examiner is JOHNSON, SONJI N, who is responsible for 1 pending office action. The other pending office actions are each handled by one of the remaining 6 distinct examiners. With 6 distinct art units involved, the portfolio lacks a central point of examination, requiring a highly customized approach for nearly every pending matter. This distribution across 7 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units highlights the complexity of TEMPTIME Corporation's current prosecution landscape.
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 | 2 (25%) |
| §102 only | 2 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (12%) |
