Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
9 pending office actions • 6 art units • 9 examiners • 0 of 9 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 22 patents granted in the last 365 days
Xiamen San'an Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. has 3 pending office actions within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed among 3 distinct examiners, which provides a variety of perspectives on the company's semiconductor innovations. The portfolio spans 2 distinct art units, suggesting that the 3 pending office actions cover at least two different specialized technical fields within the optics sector. This requires a strategy that can accommodate the different standards of 2 distinct art units.
BOULGHASSOUL, YOUNES is the busiest examiner, responsible for 1 busiest examiner pending action. With 3 pending office actions and 3 distinct examiners, the workload is not concentrated under any single individual. This spread minimizes the impact of any one examiner's tendencies on the overall success of the portfolio. However, the company must still manage the complexities of 2 distinct art units while responding to the specific requirements of the 3 distinct examiners currently reviewing their applications. This distribution suggests a diverse range of semiconductor technologies currently under examination.
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 | 5 (56%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (33%) |
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.
