Rimon PC - MWE has 171 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 3271 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 86.99%, showing that allowance was achieved in most resolved matters. The application record provides a substantial basis for interpreting that result.
The firm averages 2.25 office actions per allowance. Allowed matters therefore generally involve several stages of examiner interaction, while the measure does not indicate an especially prolonged path within this profile. The pending docket is substantial, so practitioners should consider the firm’s semiconductor experience together with the operational demands of managing ongoing prosecution activity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 32 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. 32 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 | 3 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 19 (11%) |
| §103 only | 73 (42%) |
| §102 only | 10 (6%) |
| §112 only | 8 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 54 (31%) |
| 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.
