Greenberg Traurig, LLP - AMD, Inc. operates in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The firm is associated with 28725 career applications, reflecting a large historical volume of work. This scale of 28725 applications suggests institutional knowledge of the patent prosecution process. There are currently 52 pending office actions for this specific profile.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 84.83 percent. This rate is achieved with an average of 3.55 office actions per allowance. In the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field, this 3.55 average indicates a prosecution process that often requires multiple rounds of negotiation and amendment to reach a grant. The 84.83 percent allowance rate shows an ability to eventually secure patent rights across their career history.
The 52 pending office actions represent the current active cases under this profile. The 28725 career applications provide a context for the firm's 84.83 percent success rate. Clients can evaluate the 3.55 average office actions per allowance as a measure of the persistence and effort typically required to overcome examiner rejections in this technical space.
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 + other | 4 (8%) |
| §103 only | 24 (45%) |
| §102 only | 5 (9%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 18 (34%) |
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.
