NORTH AMERICA INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CORPORATION operates in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics with 390 pending office actions and 31534 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 87.27%, showing allowance in a substantial majority of resolved applications. The large application portfolio and open-action inventory together indicate an active, scaled prosecution operation that requires ongoing docket oversight.
The average of 2.95 office actions per allowance suggests that allowed matters commonly proceed through several examination exchanges. Practitioners assessing this profile can distinguish portfolio management demands from individual case strategy: the pending inventory speaks to current workload, while the action average frames response intensity. The allowance rate provides a separate view of resolved outcomes and should not be treated as a prediction for every application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 78 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. 78 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 | 8 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 21 (5%) |
| §103 only | 153 (39%) |
| §102 only | 53 (13%) |
| §112 only | 10 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 135 (34%) |
| No statute on record | 5 (1%) |
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.
