Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
22 pending office actions • 4 clients • 20 examiners • 12 art units • 0 of 22 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Intellectual Valley Law, P.C. specializes in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The firm has handled 1079 career applications, demonstrating a significant presence in these technical domains. Its resolved allowance rate pct of 96.44 indicates an exceptionally high success rate in securing patent rights for its client base. This performance metric highlights the firm's ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to patent examiners.
The firm currently manages 18 pending office actions, reflecting its current level of activity before the patent office. Prosecution efficiency is highlighted by an avg office actions per allowance of 2.16. This relatively low number of actions per grant suggests a streamlined path to allowance for its 1079 career applications. The combination of a 96.44 resolved allowance rate pct and 2.16 avg office actions per allowance demonstrates the firm's ability to secure approvals with minimal examiner interaction in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. These data points serve as a benchmark for evaluating the firm's procedural effectiveness.
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 | 4 (18%) |
| §103 only | 7 (32%) |
| §102 only | 3 (14%) |
| §112 only | 2 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (27%) |
