LIPPES MATHIAS LLP has handled 10540 career applications within the Semiconductors, Circuits and Optics technology area. The firm currently manages 107 pending office actions, representing its active workload in this sector. This career application count of 10540 provides a baseline for the firm's experience with semiconductor technologies.
The firm achieves a resolved allowance rate of 86.43 percent. On average, it requires 3.33 office actions per allowance to reach a successful grant. This average of 3.33 office actions per allowance indicates the typical procedural investment for its applications. The 86.43 percent allowance rate serves as a performance metric for its work in Semiconductors, Circuits and Optics.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 44 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. 44 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 | 7 (5%) |
| §103 only | 45 (30%) |
| §102 only | 3 (2%) |
| §112 only | 7 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 9 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 80 (53%) |
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.
