Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
19 pending office actions • 6 clients • 19 examiners • 18 art units • 0 of 19 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 82 patents granted in the last 365 days
J.C. PATENTS works in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and has 6031 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 83.29%, while the current portfolio includes 19 pending office actions. These figures show a substantial prosecution history with a high share of resolved matters resulting in allowance.
The average of 2.67 office actions per allowance indicates that allowed cases commonly require more than one substantive prosecution step. For a prospective client, the combination of an 83.29% resolved allowance rate and 2.67 average office actions provides context for evaluating both outcome expectations and the likely need for continued responses in this technology area. The 19 pending office actions identify an active group of matters requiring present attention.
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 only | 1 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (5%) |
| §103 only | 7 (37%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| §112 only | 4 (21%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (26%) |
