46 pending office actions • 20 art units • 44 examiners • 0 of 46 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 205 patents granted in the last 365 days
Wuhan China Star Optoelectronics Semiconductor Display Technology Co., Ltd. currently has 47 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed across 20 distinct art units, which shows that the company's patent filings are classified in many different technical areas. This volume of 47 pending office actions indicates a significant level of ongoing interaction with the USPTO.
The portfolio involves 45 distinct examiners, meaning that the company's applications are reviewed by a large variety of individuals. The busiest examiner, KARIMY, TIMOR, is currently handling 2 pending office actions. This count of 2 is the highest for any single examiner, yet it is much lower than the total 47 pending office actions across the entire portfolio.
With 45 distinct examiners and 20 distinct art units, the company must manage a wide range of examiner preferences and art unit procedures. The fact that the busiest examiner, KARIMY, TIMOR, only handles 2 pending office actions suggests that the portfolio's success is not concentrated in the hands of a few people. Practitioners must be prepared for diverse examination styles across the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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 | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 9 (20%) |
| §102 only | 2 (4%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 30 (65%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
