Technology areas: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics • Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
267 pending office actions • 101 clients • 248 examiners • 142 art units • 0 of 267 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
This profile covers Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and includes 14211 career applications. The resolved allowance rate is 91.11%, with an average of 2.97 office actions per allowance. The record shows a broad prosecution base, a high reported allowance outcome, and several examination interactions before allowance.
The profile contains 261 pending office actions, indicating a substantial active workload. Practitioners can use the historical metrics to support portfolio planning and estimate response demands, while maintaining separate analysis for unresolved cases. The action average suggests that multiple examination events are common before allowance, even within a record reporting favorable resolved outcomes.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 61 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. 61 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 | 6 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 31 (12%) |
| §103 only | 86 (32%) |
| §102 only | 22 (8%) |
| §112 only | 13 (5%) |
