Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
46 pending office actions • 14 clients • 44 examiners • 32 art units • 0 of 46 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Nathan & Associates Patent Agents Ltd has 41 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 1486 career applications. The data reflects an established practice with active semiconductor and circuit prosecution work.
The resolved allowance rate is 89.25%, and the average is 2.25 office actions per allowance. The allowance result is favorable within the reported record, while the action average indicates that examination commonly includes more than one office-action exchange.
For practitioners, the profile provides a basis for considering historical outcomes alongside response effort. The pending docket and application history separately indicate current workload and accumulated prosecution experience.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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 | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (7%) |
| §103 only | 12 (26%) |
| §102 only | 4 (9%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (48%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
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.
