Butzel Long’s record covers Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics, with 24 pending office actions across 1181 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 82.31%, while the average is 3.21 office actions per allowance. Together, these figures describe a practice with a substantial application history and measurable examination activity.
The pending docket gives current workload context, while the resolved allowance rate reflects outcomes from completed prosecution matters. The office-action average adds a separate efficiency signal, showing the amount of recorded examination activity associated with an allowance. Patent owners can use these measures to assess both historical results and the likely need for continued response work in this technology area.
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 + other | 2 (9%) |
| §103 only | 13 (57%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (30%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (4%) |
