Rimon PC - Renesas Electronics Corporation focuses on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics with 2160 career applications. The firm has a resolved allowance rate of 91.76 percent. It averages 2.05 office actions per allowance, indicating a high level of efficiency in securing allowances.
There are 28 pending office actions currently. The 91.76 percent allowance rate is achieved across 2160 career applications. The 2.05 average office actions per allowance suggests a direct path to allowance with minimal examiner interaction. This performance is a key feature of the firm's profile in the semiconductors sector.
The 2160 career applications provide a robust data set for evaluating the firm's 91.76 percent allowance rate. The 28 pending office actions show a steady volume of ongoing work. Practitioners can use the average office actions per allowance to benchmark the expected effort and duration for applications in this field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 + other | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 20 (56%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| 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.
