Venjuris, P.C. focuses on Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics with 3019 career applications. The firm has achieved a resolved allowance rate pct of 86.33. This success rate reflects its results in securing patents within the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technology area. With 3019 career applications, the 86.33 resolved allowance rate pct is based on a substantial history. Practitioners can use these figures to evaluate the firm's experience and set expectations for future filings.
The firm currently has 34 pending office actions. Its avg office actions per allowance is 2.9. This 2.9 avg office actions per allowance indicates the number of interactions with the patent office typically required for each granted patent. With 34 pending office actions, the firm is actively managing its cases. The 2.9 avg office actions per allowance helps practitioners estimate the resources needed for the examination phase. The 86.33 resolved allowance rate pct and the 34 pending office actions offer a look at the firm's results.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 (6%) |
| §103 only | 14 (22%) |
| §102 only | 11 (17%) |
| §112 only | 4 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 27 (42%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (3%) |
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.
