NORTH AMERICA INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CORPORATION manages 31489 career applications in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. The firm has a resolved allowance rate of 87.27 percent. On average, the firm navigates 2.95 office actions per allowance. There are 283 pending office actions currently.
The 87.27 percent resolved allowance rate across 31489 career applications shows extensive experience in the semiconductor sector. The average of 2.95 office actions per allowance suggests an efficient prosecution strategy for these technical applications. Practitioners can view the 87.27 percent allowance rate as a sign of consistent performance in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics field. The 283 pending office actions indicate a high volume of current activity. With its vast career history, the firm has a massive data set to inform its prosecution tactics, which likely helps maintain the 2.95 average office actions per allowance. This success rate demonstrates the firm's ability to successfully manage a very large portfolio while keeping the prosecution process relatively streamlined.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 93 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. 93 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 | 7 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 22 (5%) |
| §103 only | 179 (41%) |
| §102 only | 56 (13%) |
| §112 only | 15 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 142 (33%) |
| 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.
