Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd. is currently navigating 151 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These actions are distributed across 32 distinct art units, showing a significant presence in these technical fields. The company interacts with 122 distinct examiners, which suggests that many examiners are handling only one or two applications for the firm.
Zubair Ahmed is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, currently overseeing 4 pending office actions. With 122 distinct examiners involved in 151 actions, the prosecution workload is widely spread, though some examiners are reviewing multiple cases. The concentration in 32 distinct art units indicates that while the examiners are many, the technical focus remains relatively consistent across the portfolio. Practitioners should prepare for a variety of examiner styles while navigating the specific norms of these 32 art units.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 41 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. 41 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 (1%) |
| §103 only | 63 (41%) |
| §102 only | 17 (11%) |
| §112 only | 9 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 7 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 53 (35%) |
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.
