Potomac Law Group, PLLC - AB Sciex has 13 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 143 career applications. The profile reflects a focused client-specific application history and an active docket in a specialized technical field.
The resolved allowance rate is 92.0%, and the average is 1.61 office actions per allowance. Most resolved matters reached allowance, and successful matters generally involved limited recorded office-action activity. For semiconductor and optics clients, the data indicates a favorable resolved outcome record paired with an examination process that typically required fewer than two office-action events per allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 3 (23%) |
| §103 only | 3 (23%) |
| §102 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (46%) |
