JCIPRNET operates in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and reports 56542 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 87.15%, while 1487 office actions are pending. The career-application figure reflects an extensive prosecution record, and the allowance rate describes the results recorded for resolved matters.
The average of 2.6 office actions per allowance indicates that allowed applications have typically required repeated examination activity. The 1487 pending office actions create a substantial active docket, so practitioners evaluating this profile should consider both outcome history and the operational demands of keeping responses, amendments, and deadlines current. The 87.15% resolved allowance rate supplies a favorable outcome reference, while the average-action figure supplies context for the prosecution effort associated with those allowances.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 314 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. 314 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 | 25 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 116 (8%) |
| §103 only | 559 (38%) |
| §102 only | 121 (8%) |
| §112 only | 53 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 10 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 18 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 564 (38%) |
| No statute on record | 6 (0%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
