Conley Rose, P.C. has 222 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and a career application record of 12033. The profile reflects a substantial current docket and a large historical application record in semiconductor, circuit, and optical technologies.
Its resolved allowance rate is 87.22%, with an average of 3.67 office actions per allowance. The allowance measure provides historical outcome context, while the action average indicates repeated examination activity for matters that reached allowance. Together, the figures can inform portfolio staffing, response planning, and expectations about prosecution engagement.
The statistics do not identify the legal or technical basis of particular office actions. Counsel should still review individual claims, cited art, disclosure support, and deadlines before using the historical record to shape strategy for the pending docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 59 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. 59 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 | 8 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 24 (11%) |
| §103 only | 68 (30%) |
| §102 only | 14 (6%) |
| §112 only | 12 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 92 (41%) |
| No statute on record | 3 (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.
