BARLEY SNYDER has 108 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 3,711 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 91.9%, and the average is 3.2 office actions per allowance. The record reflects active prosecution in a defined technical area and a substantial historical application base.
The allowance rate supplies a strong resolved-outcome measure within the reported data, while the action average shows that allowance commonly follows several examination exchanges. Practitioners can use the pending docket to assess current workload and the historical figures to anticipate iterative prosecution. The two measures should be read together, since allowance outcomes do not eliminate the need for multiple responses.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 31 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. 31 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 | 3 (3%) |
| §103 only | 31 (29%) |
| §102 only | 15 (14%) |
| §112 only | 3 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 52 (49%) |
| 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.
