VEDDER PRICE P.C. specializes in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics, where it has managed 2814 career applications. The firm has a resolved allowance rate pct of 84.41. This rate indicates the firm's success in navigating the patent office's requirements in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technical field. The 2814 career applications represent a history of prosecution work. Practitioners can use the 84.41 resolved allowance rate pct to set expectations for clients seeking protection in this sector.
The firm has 27 pending office actions at this time. Its avg office actions per allowance is 3.36. With 2814 career applications, the 84.41 resolved allowance rate pct provides a sample size for evaluating performance. The 3.36 avg office actions per allowance suggests the level of interaction with examiners typical for the firm's prosecution work. Having 27 pending office actions indicates a steady workflow. The 3.36 avg office actions per allowance helps in planning for the resources required during the examination phase.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 (10%) |
| §103 only | 12 (30%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (50%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
