Technology area: Networking & Security
63 pending office actions • 17 clients • 61 examiners • 51 art units • 1 of 63 (2%) have an AI response strategy ready
Arch & Lake LLP has 65 pending office actions in Networking & Security and 2790 career applications. The current workload is supported by a substantial application history in a field where technical architecture and security functionality can drive examination issues.
The resolved allowance rate is 93.98%, with an average of 2.92 office actions per allowance. The figures show frequent successful outcomes after several examination exchanges. Practitioners should expect value from a prosecution plan that pairs clear technical distinctions with staged claim refinement.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 17 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. 17 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 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (10%) |
| §103 only | 24 (38%) |
| §102 only | 4 (6%) |
| §112 only | 5 (8%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (32%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
