37 pending office actions • 5 clients • 33 examiners • 16 art units • 0 of 37 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
The Whitaker LLC focuses on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The firm has a history of 2903 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 97.83 percent. This percentage shows the proportion of resolved applications that successfully reach a grant. For a practitioner, this rate provides a benchmark for the firm's historical performance.
The firm currently manages 24 pending office actions. On average, the firm receives 2.62 office actions per allowance. This 2.62 office actions per allowance figure reflects the typical amount of negotiation with the USPTO. The 2903 career applications and 24 pending office actions define the firm's historical and active workload. These data points characterize the firm's prosecution profile.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 10 (27%) |
| §102 only | 3 (8%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (59%) |
