RECHES PATENTS focuses on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and has 21 pending office actions. Its record includes 1833 career applications, an 88.22% resolved allowance rate, and an average of 3.14 office actions per allowance.
The allowance rate indicates that most resolved applications reached allowance. The office-action average shows that allowed matters commonly required several examination responses, making prosecution persistence an important part of the historical record.
The pending docket is active within a substantial application portfolio. For semiconductor and optical practitioners, the figures support planning around both favorable historical outcomes and recurring examination effort, but they do not disclose the technical mix or status of the individual pending applications.
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 only | 2 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 7 (35%) |
| §112 only | 2 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (35%) |
