SLATER MATSIL, LLP - NTT has 17 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. Its record includes 3930 career applications, an 83.25% resolved allowance rate, and an average of 3.18 office actions per allowance. Together, these figures provide both a workload snapshot and a prosecution-outcome record.
The allowance rate gives practitioners a direct measure of resolved outcomes in this portfolio, while the office-action average indicates that allowances generally follow multiple examination exchanges. The pending matters warrant active docket review, particularly where additional prosecution rounds could affect timing or cost.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 4 (22%) |
| §103 only | 4 (22%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 2 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (39%) |
