94 pending office actions • 27 art units • 63 examiners • 0 of 94 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 185 patents granted in the last 365 days
Yazaki Corporation manages a portfolio with 101 pending office actions in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. These matters are distributed among 67 distinct examiners. The applications span 25 distinct art units, which indicates a technical footprint across various USPTO divisions. This volume of 101 pending office actions necessitates a strategy to handle the 67 distinct examiners and 25 art units involved in the process.
Paresh H Paghadal is the busiest examiner for this portfolio, currently managing 9 pending office actions. While this is the highest concentration for any single examiner, the pending actions are largely spread across the other assigned individuals. The presence of 25 distinct art units suggests that the company's innovations in semiconductors and optics are diverse, requiring engagement with many different specialized units. With the distinct examiners reviewing the applications, the company faces a range of individual perspectives. Each of the 101 pending office actions may be subject to different examination styles depending on the assigned examiner and art unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 15 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. 15 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 | 30 (32%) |
| §102 only | 21 (22%) |
| §112 only | 5 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 37 (39%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
