AGORA LAW GROUP, PLLC has 55 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 1263 career applications. The pending docket shows continuing prosecution activity against a substantial historical application base in a specialized technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 94.32%, and the average is 2.5 office actions per allowance. The combination indicates a high recorded allowance outcome alongside a measurable examination workload. For practitioners, the profile supports planning around both favorable resolution prospects and the need for more than one office-action response on average.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 only | 2 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 8 (14%) |
| §103 only | 25 (45%) |
| §102 only | 5 (9%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (20%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
