Key Metrics for Technology Center 2800

Below, we pull back the curtain on several prosecution trends that have occurred in TC 2800 during the seven-year period between 2014 and 2020.

Technology Center 2800 handles semiconductor and electrical and optical system applications. Semiconductors are materials that have a conductivity between conductors (metals) and nonconductors (most ceramics). Their primary purpose is to fabricate computer chips used in a wide variety of electronic devices, including smartphones, computers, and radios.

TC 2800 is not a particularly difficult tech center to work in, as its average allowance rate is 86%— the second highest at the USPTO.
