Artegis Law Group, LLP specializes in Computing & Software, with 2206 career applications on record. The firm currently manages 70 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate pct is 95.46, reflecting an exceptionally high success rate for resolved applications. This 95.46 rate is a testament to the firm's effectiveness across its 2206 career applications in the software field.
The firm's avg office actions per allowance is 6.06. This high average suggests that while the 95.46 resolved allowance rate pct is strong, the path to allowance involves significant examiner interaction over many rounds. For the 2206 career applications, the 6.06 average highlights the intensive nature of prosecution in the computing and software sector. Practitioners should prepare for a lengthy examination process, as the 6.06 avg office actions per allowance indicates that reaching an allowance often takes six or more office actions. The 70 pending office actions represent a substantial active portfolio that will likely require this high level of persistence to reach the firm's 95.46 resolved allowance rate pct.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 35 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. 35 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.
