Unm Rainforest Innovations is currently managing 21 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are assigned to 21 distinct examiners across 16 distinct art units. MARTIN, VERONICA is the busiest examiner, currently handling 1 pending office action. The portfolio is highly fragmented, with 21 distinct examiners for 21 pending office actions, meaning no two active cases share the same examiner.
The 16 distinct art units further illustrate the breadth of the company's semiconductor-related research, as these 21 pending office actions are being reviewed by many different USPTO divisions. MARTIN, VERONICA's role with 1 pending office action is representative of the entire portfolio's distribution. Managing 21 pending office actions across 16 distinct art units is a complex task that requires a unified strategy to handle the diverse requirements of so many different technical groups. The 21 pending office actions show a broad and active interest in securing intellectual property within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector. Practitioners should monitor the 16 distinct art units for consistent application of semiconductor patent standards.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 9 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
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 (10%) |
| §103 only | 4 (19%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (62%) |
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.
