Wuhan United Imaging Life Science Instrument Co. Ltd. has 6 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 6 distinct examiners and 3 distinct art units. WENDEROTH, FREDERICK is the busiest examiner for the portfolio with 1 pending action. Since there are 6 distinct examiners for 6 pending actions, each matter is being reviewed by a different individual at the patent office.
The concentration of 6 examiners within only 3 distinct art units suggests that while the examiners are different, they are working within a narrow range of technical groups. This structure may lead to consistent examination themes across the portfolio's active matters. Practitioners can focus on the specific policies and trends of those 3 art units while managing 6 different examiner personalities within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field.
The presence of 6 pending office actions across 3 art units indicates a robust but technically focused filing strategy. The 1 to 1 ratio of actions to examiners prevents any single person's bias from dominating the portfolio. Instead, the company must manage 6 independent prosecution tracks, each potentially offering different challenges and opportunities within the same 3 technical environments.
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 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (80%) |
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.
