Litron Patent and Trademark Office operates in the Semiconductors, Circuits and Optics technology area with 733 career applications. The firm currently oversees 7 pending office actions. This level of activity demonstrates engagement with semiconductor technologies over the course of its 733 career applications.
The firm reports a resolved allowance rate of 93.64 percent. This success rate is achieved with an average of 3.84 office actions per allowance. While the 3.84 average suggests an iterative process with examiners, the 93.64 percent allowance rate indicates an ability to eventually secure patent rights for its clients in the Semiconductors, Circuits and Optics field.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (17%) |
| §103 only | 5 (83%) |
