Viering, Jentschura & Partner mbB - Int specializes in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The firm has 2029 career applications and a resolved allowance rate pct of 90.1. This success rate is an indicator of its performance in the Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics technical field. Practitioners can use the 2029 career applications to evaluate the firm's historical outcomes. These metrics offer a basis for setting expectations for future filings in this technical area.
The firm currently has 27 pending office actions. Its avg office actions per allowance is 3.24. This 3.24 avg office actions per allowance reflects the number of examiner interactions typically required to reach an allowance. With 27 pending office actions, the firm continues to manage its active cases. The 3.24 avg office actions per allowance helps practitioners estimate the resources needed for the examination phase. The 90.1 resolved allowance rate pct and the 27 pending office actions provide a view of the firm's performance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 | 6 (14%) |
| §103 only | 16 (36%) |
| §102 only | 4 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 18 (41%) |
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.
