Verdego Aero Inc. shows a distributed prosecution landscape within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The portfolio currently contains 4 pending office actions, which are spread across 4 distinct examiners. This distribution between actions and examiners suggests that no individual examiner has a dominant influence over the company's pending matters. Furthermore, the involvement of 4 distinct art units indicates that the company's technical reach is broad, requiring navigation of multiple specialized examination groups.
SAN MARTIN, EDGARDO is identified as the busiest examiner, though he holds only 1 busiest examiner pending office action. This parity across the 4 distinct examiners means that the practitioner must prepare for different sets of examiner preferences and interpretations of prior art. Unlike portfolios concentrated in 1 art unit, this spread across 4 distinct art units requires a versatile strategy to address the varied standards of different technical divisions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. The lack of concentration reduces the risk associated with any single examiner's tendencies.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (50%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (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.
