Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
41 pending office actions • 15 clients • 40 examiners • 31 art units • 0 of 41 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
DALY, CROWLEY, MOFFORD & DURKEE, LLP has 38 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 2462 career applications. The firm combines a sizable current examination docket with a broad application record in the technology area.
Its resolved allowance rate is 91.67%, while the average is 2.92 office actions per allowance. These figures indicate that resolved matters frequently reach allowance, although successful prosecution commonly requires multiple examination responses.
The profile is useful for planning both capacity and expectations. Prospective clients can view the allowance rate as evidence of favorable resolved outcomes, while the action average signals that claim development may continue through several Office interactions before resolution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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 | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (10%) |
| §103 only | 15 (37%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| §112 only | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (39%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
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.
