Innovation Counsel LLP has 119 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics, against a career record of 7550 applications. The pending docket marks a significant current examination workload within a large prosecution history.
The resolved allowance rate is 93.96%, and the average is 3.6 office actions per allowance. Those measures provide separate signals for outcome frequency and prosecution effort, allowing practitioners to review allowance performance without treating the pending count as an outcome measure.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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.

|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (2%) |
| §103 only | 51 (40%) |
| §102 only | 8 (6%) |
