THE AEROSPACE Corporation has 6 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Each of these 6 actions is assigned to a different person, resulting in 6 distinct examiners. This lack of examiner overlap means that prosecution strategies must be tailored to the specific preferences of each individual reviewer. The 6 distinct art units involved match the number of pending actions, indicating technical dispersion within the USPTO.
COOK, WILLIAM J is the busiest examiner with 1 pending office action. The total alignment of 6 pending actions, 6 distinct examiners, and 6 distinct art units suggests a broad and non-overlapping technical portfolio. For a practitioner, this means there is no opportunity to leverage a single examiner's familiarity with the company's technology across multiple applications.
With 6 distinct examiners and 6 distinct art units, the company's prosecution profile is as diverse as its action count allows. This structure implies that the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics innovations being pursued are technically distinct enough to be routed to different specialized groups. Each of the 6 pending office actions represents a unique interaction with a different part of the USPTO's examination infrastructure.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (50%) |
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.
