Anderson Patent Law Firm LLC has 11 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and 654 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 82.91%, with an average of 4.15 office actions per allowance. The figures provide both current workload and historical prosecution context.
The allowance rate is paired with an office-action average indicating substantial examination activity for matters that reach allowance. For practitioners, the profile supports reviewing rejection response strategy, claim amendments, and the relationship between prosecution effort and outcome in biotechnology and pharmaceutical matters. The pending docket should be evaluated for cases where early strategic intervention could affect later response demands.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 only | 1 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (17%) |
| §103 only | 3 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (42%) |
