Rimon PC - Panasonic Corporation manages a portfolio in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics, with 13338 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 86.08 percent, demonstrating its ability to secure patent grants across its total filings. The average of 2.92 office actions per allowance indicates the level of procedural engagement with the USPTO required to reach an allowance.
Currently, the firm has 95 pending office actions to resolve. The 13338 career applications represent the firm's volume of experience in the semiconductor sector. The 86.08 percent resolved allowance rate highlights the firm's effectiveness, while the 2.92 average office actions per allowance helps in planning for the typical prosecution timeline. These figures illustrate the firm's capacity to handle patent operations while maintaining its rate of success.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 29 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. 29 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 | 16 (9%) |
| §103 only | 63 (36%) |
| §102 only | 11 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 78 (45%) |
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.
