HENRY M FEIEREISEN, LLC operates in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics with 4963 career applications. The firm currently handles 23 pending office actions. The resolved allowance rate pct is 88.61, showing the firm's success in obtaining patent grants. This volume of 4963 applications indicates a deep foundation of experience in the semiconductor and optics industries.
The average office actions per allowance is 3.11. This figure indicates the typical number of office actions required to reach an allowance in this technology area. With 4963 career applications and an 88.61 resolved allowance rate pct, the firm has an established record of performance. The average of 3.11 office actions per allowance provides a benchmark for the expected level of examiner interaction. The 23 pending office actions reflect the firm's ongoing activity at the USPTO.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (16%) |
| §103 only | 12 (39%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (32%) |
