1Bucket breakdown
What's in the queue, by rejection shape.
Single-statute rejections are the cheapest to knock out. Multi-statute + §101 cases are where the real work is.
2Fire line — overdue + due this week
Where the heat is, right now.
Each dot is one office action. Days-overdue (left) and days-until-due (right), colored by difficulty to overcome.
3Quick wins — knock these out first
Closable with a terminal disclaimer or clarifying amendment.
Single-statute §DP or §112 rejections — no scope loss, minimal attorney time, high allowance probability.
4Interview candidates — ask to talk to the examiner
Cases where an interview meaningfully changes the outcome.
Examiner interview-lift ≥15% means their allow rate jumps materially after a conversation. Prioritize these for 30-minute calls.
5Hard cases — these need real work
OAs with §101 Alice issues or multi-statute combinations.
Alice-heavy cases + §102 anticipation + complex §103 combinations. Plan 4–8 hours of attorney time per response.
