The Whitaker LLC works in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics, with 2,909 career applications and 33 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 97.79%, indicating that allowance is the recorded result for nearly all resolved applications in this profile.
The average of 2.62 office actions per allowance shows that the favorable outcome can still involve multiple examination exchanges. Practitioners can use the office-action measure to plan response work rather than assume that the allowance rate predicts speed. The pending docket identifies active matters, and the application volume establishes the scale behind the historical outcome.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 8 (24%) |
| §102 only | 3 (9%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (62%) |
