Cantor Colburn LLP - Raytheon operates in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area, utilizing the firm's broad experience of 74190 career applications. This specific designation currently manages 18 pending office actions, representing a focused set of active matters. The firm's history across a wide range of technical fields provides a context for its work in high-tech semiconductor and optics patents.
The firm reports a resolved allowance rate pct of 88.07, indicating success in securing patent rights. This success is achieved with an avg_office_actions_per_allowance of 3.16, suggesting that the firm typically navigates the examination process in a specific number of office actions. The 88.07 resolved allowance rate pct is a key indicator of the firm's effectiveness in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector. With 74190 career applications, the 3.16 avg_office_actions_per_allowance provides a reliable benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution cycle. These data points offer a view of the firm's performance and capacity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 6 (35%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (59%) |
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.
