Robinson Intellectual Property Law Office, P.C. manages 6514 career applications in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The firm has a resolved allowance rate of 96.37 percent. It averages 3.71 office actions per allowance, which serves as a metric for the expected volume of examiner correspondence.
The firm has 29 pending office actions. The 96.37 percent allowance rate is high for a portfolio of 6514 applications. The 3.71 average office actions per allowance indicates the typical frequency of office actions before an allowance is granted. This data reflects the firm's long-term performance and strategy in the semiconductors sector.
With 6514 career applications, the firm has a well-established track record. The 29 pending office actions represent the current active docket. The 96.37 percent allowance rate and 3.71 average office actions per allowance are key figures for practitioners to consider when evaluating the firm's prosecution efficiency and success.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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 | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (4%) |
| §103 only | 21 (38%) |
| §102 only | 8 (15%) |
| §112 only | 3 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (31%) |
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.
