Technology areas: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics • Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering
31 pending office actions • 15 clients • 30 examiners • 20 art units • 0 of 31 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 123 patents granted in the last 365 days
PIIP has 31 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics, supported by 624 career applications. The application base gives context to the current workload and indicates an established prosecution record in a technically specialized field.
Its resolved allowance rate is 86.61%, and the firm averages 0.95 office actions per allowance. The low action average, considered with the allowance rate, indicates that resolved matters reaching allowance generally required limited recorded office-action activity. A client reviewing this profile may find the combination relevant when seeking semiconductor or optics prosecution with an emphasis on efficient examination progression.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 + other | 2 (6%) |
| §103 only | 9 (29%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 7 (23%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (35%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
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.
