This profile covers Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and shows 78 pending office actions. The record includes 28822 career applications, providing substantial historical scale for the active Meta-related docket.
The resolved allowance rate is 84.67%, and the average is 3.55 office actions per allowance. The resolved record shows allowance in most matters, with several examination actions generally associated with each allowance.
Practitioners should pair portfolio-level workload controls with matter-specific claim analysis. The allowance rate supplies a favorable historical outcome measure, while the action average indicates that advancement may require sustained responses in this technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 24 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. 24 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 | 2 (3%) |
| §103 only | 30 (38%) |
| §102 only | 5 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 39 (49%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (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.
