SUITER SWANTZ IP has 2626 career applications, with a focus on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The firm has a resolved allowance rate pct of 86.84. This percentage indicates the frequency of allowances among all resolved cases and provides a historical benchmark for its 2626 career applications.
The firm averages 2.78 office actions per allowance, showing the typical number of responses required to achieve a grant. There are 37 pending office actions currently active. These actions represent the current prosecution effort for a firm with experience in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics sector.
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 | 2 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (10%) |
| §103 only | 20 (33%) |
| §102 only | 5 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 25 (42%) |
