Technology area: Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics
190 pending office actions • 44 clients • 176 examiners • 114 art units • 0 of 190 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Rabin & Berdo, P.C. handles Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics matters and has 189 pending office actions. Its reported career portfolio contains 20616 applications, with an 85.82% resolved allowance rate and an average of 2.61 office actions per allowance.
The pending-action figure reflects a substantial active workload within a large reported application portfolio. The allowance rate indicates that a majority of resolved applications reached allowance, while the office-action average shows that successful matters generally involved multiple examination events.
For semiconductor clients, the data supports planning around a sizable docket and recurring response activity. It can inform expectations about prosecution persistence, but it does not reveal the distribution of work among circuits, optical technologies, or individual client matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 34 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. 34 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 only | 6 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 14 (7%) |
| §103 only | 79 (42%) |
| §102 only | 11 (6%) |
| §112 only | 6 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 72 (38%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
