DALY, CROWLEY, MOFFORD & DURKEE, LLP is a patent law firm with 2450 career applications. The firm specializes in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. It has established a resolved allowance rate pct of 91.86. This performance is coupled with an avg office actions per allowance of 2.93. The firm is currently managing 36 pending office actions.
The avg office actions per allowance of 2.93 indicates a prosecution timeline in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. Reaching an allowance in several office actions on average suggests a specific communication style with the USPTO. The 91.86 resolved allowance rate pct demonstrates that this efficiency is paired with a high probability of success across 2450 career applications. With 36 pending office actions, the firm remains active in its core technology sector. These metrics provide a baseline for understanding the firm's ability to secure intellectual property rights. The firm's 2450 career applications define its historical presence in the field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 (9%) |
| §103 only | 13 (29%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 3 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (49%) |
| 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.
