Tilta Inc. maintains a portfolio focused on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics with 12 pending office actions currently active. These matters are distributed across 11 distinct examiners, which suggests a broad spread of intellectual property across different examination personnel. This distribution can lead to varied prosecution experiences depending on individual examiner tendencies within the semiconductor field. The company's work spans 8 distinct art units, reflecting a diverse range of technical sub-specialties within its primary technology area.
AMY JO STERLING is the busiest examiner for Tilta Inc., currently handling 2 pending office actions. While STERLING has 2 actions, the remaining pending matters are spread among the other 11 distinct examiners. This structure indicates that no single examiner or art unit dominates the portfolio's current workload, requiring a versatile approach to responding to office actions across the 8 distinct art units involved. The presence of 12 pending office actions across such a variety of personnel highlights a low concentration of cases per examiner.
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 | 1 (8%) |
| §102 only | 6 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (33%) |
