CKC & Partners Co., LLC focuses on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics across 10730 career applications. Its profile has 319 pending office actions, showing substantial current prosecution activity within a broad application portfolio.
The resolved allowance rate is 90.87%, and the average office actions per allowance is 2.45. The allowance rate indicates strong historical resolution results, while the action average shows that allowed matters generally involved multiple examination actions. Practitioners can use these measures to support portfolio staffing, response planning, and discussions about maintaining technically supported fallback positions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 52 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. 52 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 | 3 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 19 (6%) |
| §103 only | 134 (41%) |
| §102 only | 30 (9%) |
| §112 only | 11 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 8 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 113 (35%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (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.
