36 pending office actions • 2 clients • 29 examiners • 12 art units • 0 of 36 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 110 patents granted in the last 365 days
Qorvo and Withrow + Terranova manages 2219 career applications in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The firm achieves a resolved allowance rate of 98.46 percent. Prosecution is efficient, requiring an average of 2.44 office actions per allowance to reach a grant. There are 19 pending office actions currently under management.
The 98.46 percent allowance rate across 2219 career applications indicates a successful prosecution strategy in the semiconductor field. The 2.44 office actions per allowance suggest a streamlined process for reaching patent grants for its clients. These figures demonstrate a consistent ability to secure intellectual property rights with minimal interactions with the patent office.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 13 (36%) |
| §102 only | 7 (19%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (36%) |
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.
