Chen Yoshimura LLP has 21 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 3244 career applications. The current docket sits within a substantial application history, providing context for the firm’s activity in a technically detailed field.
Its resolved allowance rate is 91.15%, with an average of 2.56 office actions per allowance. The allowance figure reflects favorable outcomes among resolved matters, while the action average shows the examination activity associated with those outcomes. Practitioners can use this combination to assess both result patterns and the likely level of claim refinement and examiner engagement.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (9%) |
| §103 only | 6 (27%) |
| §102 only | 4 (18%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (45%) |
