CANTOR COLBURN LLP has 1150 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 74576 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 88.02%, with an average of 3.15 office actions per allowance.
The pending docket and application total establish the scale of current and historical activity. The allowance rate describes outcomes among resolved matters, while the office-action average describes examination activity associated with allowances. For patent practitioners, the profile offers a basis for evaluating a large prosecution operation, planning response resources, and interpreting historical results in the relevant technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 248 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. 248 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 | 15 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 73 (6%) |
| §103 only | 414 (36%) |
| §102 only | 68 (6%) |
| §112 only | 51 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 13 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 31 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 481 (42%) |
| No statute on record | 6 (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.
