Harrity & Harrity, LLP has 763 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 19,915 career applications. The figures show a substantial active docket supported by a sizeable historical application record.
The resolved allowance rate is 95.61%, and the average number of office actions per allowance is 3.31. The first measure captures the recorded rate of allowance among resolved applications, while the second reflects the associated prosecution activity.
For semiconductor and circuit portfolios, this profile offers both workload and outcome context. The high recorded allowance rate should be read together with the office-action measure, since the data describes both results and the examination effort associated with allowances.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 165 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. 165 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 | 47 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 157 (21%) |
| §103 only | 257 (34%) |
| §102 only | 33 (4%) |
| §112 only | 19 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 14 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 5 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 228 (30%) |
| No statute on record | 5 (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.
