DORITY & MANNING, P.A. has 442 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 28426 career applications. The profile reflects a substantial historical application record together with a sizable active workload in a technology area involving semiconductor, circuit, and optical inventions. That combination gives practitioners both a current docket signal and a broader view of the practice’s recorded prosecution activity.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.25%, and the average is 3.38 office actions per allowance. These outcome measures should be read alongside the application volume rather than as a description of any single matter. For prosecution planning, the profile supports examination of both the firm’s overall allowance results and the amount of office-action activity associated with matters that reached allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 118 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. 118 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 (0%) |
| §101 + other | 33 (8%) |
| §103 only | 153 (35%) |
| §102 only | 20 (5%) |
| §112 only | 17 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 15 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 189 (44%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (0%) |
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.
