IPHORGAN LTD. focuses on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and has 691 career applications recorded. Its resolved allowance rate is 91.67%, indicating that most resolved matters in the profile reached allowance.
The firm has 12 pending office actions, reflecting an active but defined examination workload. The average of 2.88 office actions per allowance shows that allowed matters generally involved multiple responses.

Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
