Robinson + Cole LLP (Hubbell) has 1167 career applications and 15 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The resolved allowance rate is 94.61%, and the average office actions per allowance is 3.38.
The profile combines a substantial application history with a current semiconductor, circuit, and optics docket. The historical allowance figure describes resolved outcomes, while the office-action average indicates the examination effort associated with allowances. These measures provide context but do not predict the disposition of the pending actions.
For prosecution planning, practitioners should separate portfolio-level history from the technical and procedural details of the active matters. Claim construction, cited references, and the effect of any proposed amendment should be evaluated within the relevant semiconductor, circuit, or optics file.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (31%) |
| §102 only | 3 (23%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (46%) |
