Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
3 pending office actions • 2 art units • 3 examiners • 0 of 3 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 3 patents granted in the last 365 days
Thermo Scientific Portable Analytical Instruments Inc. has 3 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters involve 3 distinct examiners and 2 distinct art units, so the examiner assignments are separate while the technical assignments include some art-unit grouping.
COOK, JONATHON is the busiest examiner with 1 pending matter. The available data do not identify a repeated examiner, making art-unit coordination more relevant than examiner concentration. Counsel can align matters sharing an art unit while preserving separate examiner-specific response preparation.
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 | 1 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (67%) |
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.
