Houtteman Law, LLC has 44 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 1757 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 91.65%, with an average of 2.08 office actions per allowance.
The profile combines a sizable application record with a high resolved allowance rate and a relatively low response average within the reported semiconductor, circuit, and optics practice. These figures support an assessment of both outcome and prosecution effort. Practitioners should still distinguish the historical resolved record from the current pending workload when planning resources.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 21 (50%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 4 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (38%) |
