Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
25 pending office actions • 2 clients • 23 examiners • 14 art units • 0 of 25 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Haynes Boone (61658) has 25 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 29,392 career applications. The entry identifies an active semiconductor-focused workload within a broad historical filing record.
The resolved allowance rate is 91.71%, and the average number of office actions per allowance is 3.46. These measures give outcome and examination-effort context, although the profile does not separate this entry’s results from the broader application record.
Practitioners can use the profile to assess current activity and the firm-level prosecution history. Matter-specific claim, examiner, and timing information is not included.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 1 (4%) |
| §103 only | 6 (24%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| §112 only | 2 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (40%) |
| No statute on record | 3 (12%) |
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.
