Artegis Law Group, LLP reports 87 pending office actions in Computing & Software and 2,206 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 95.12%, and the average is 6.06 office actions per allowance. The profile combines a large active docket with a very high resolved allowance result, but also shows that allowed applications have typically required more examination events than a single response.
That combination has a practical implication for prosecution management. A high allowance rate does not eliminate the need for sustained work, and the action average supports planning for repeated amendments, interviews, or arguments in software cases. The pending figure is a current workload measure, not a forecast of disposition. The data does not reveal whether the repeated actions arise from eligibility, prior art, written description, or claim interpretation. Practitioners should examine those distinctions before translating the portfolio metrics into advice for a specific application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 27 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. 27 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 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 18 (22%) |
| §103 only | 35 (43%) |
| §102 only | 3 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (27%) |
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.
