Maschoff Brennan practices in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and has handled 18,749 career applications. The profile lists 432 pending office actions, reflecting a substantial active prosecution workload alongside the firm’s historical application volume.
The resolved allowance rate is 89.03%. Allowed matters required an average of 3.07 office actions, indicating that examination commonly extended beyond a single action before resolution. Practitioners reviewing the profile can weigh the firm’s broad application record against the continuing need to manage a sizable pending docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 91 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. 91 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 | 14 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 56 (13%) |
| §103 only | 137 (31%) |
| §102 only | 24 (6%) |
| §112 only | 22 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 10 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 10 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 161 (37%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (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.
