Ruggiero McAllister & McMahon LLC works in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The profile contains 3,000 career applications and 142 pending office actions, reflecting a substantial application record and an active current workload.
The resolved allowance rate is 94.16%, and the average is 3.59 office actions per allowance. The allowance rate describes the outcome across resolved applications, while the action average indicates that allowances are associated with multiple prosecution events on average. This combination can help semiconductor and optics applicants assess both historical results and the firm’s ongoing docket.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 36 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. 36 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 | 4 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (4%) |
| §103 only | 44 (31%) |
| §102 only | 15 (11%) |
| §112 only | 7 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 60 (43%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
