Qorvo and Withrow + Terranova has 38 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 2254 career applications. The profile shows an active unresolved workload alongside a substantial application record.
The resolved allowance rate is 98.48%, and the average is 2.45 office actions per allowance. The allowance result provides a strong reported outcome measure, while the office-action average indicates the prosecution activity associated with allowed matters. Practitioners can use the two metrics to separate resolution performance from the process required to reach it.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 15 (41%) |
| §102 only | 6 (16%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (35%) |
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.
