SOEI USA INC. has 37 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The profile records 783 career applications, a 91.22% resolved allowance rate, and an average of 2.29 office actions per allowance. This provides a detailed view of both current activity and historical outcomes.
The allowance rate is the principal outcome indicator, while the office-action average suggests that resolved matters generally require several examination exchanges. The pending docket can be managed with this historical context, although individual claim scope and prosecution history remain the relevant basis for matter-level decisions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (13%) |
| §103 only | 16 (42%) |
| §102 only | 5 (13%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (21%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
