PATENT CENTRAL LLC handles Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics matters across 1,355 career applications. The firm has 10 pending office actions, reflecting ongoing prosecution activity within the portfolio.
The resolved allowance rate is 81.46%, and allowed matters receive an average of 3.66 office actions. These figures distinguish the reported allowance result from the examiner interaction associated with successful matters. Practitioners can apply that distinction when evaluating portfolio performance, planning responses, and reviewing claim development.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (80%) |
