Vertiv Group Corp. has 25 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters are assigned to 25 distinct examiners across 20 distinct art units, showing broad examiner dispersion with some art-unit overlap.
LY, XUAN is the busiest examiner, with 1 pending matter. No single examiner carries a larger share of the listed workload, so the profile does not point to a dominant examiner relationship for portfolio-wide planning.
The distribution favors a coordinated but individualized prosecution approach. Counsel can use art-unit groupings to identify related technical issues, while maintaining separate examiner assessments for claim construction, prior-art treatment, and interview timing. The data supports oversight across several semiconductor and optics examination contexts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (8%) |
| §103 only | 9 (38%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (54%) |
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.
