Athorus, PLLC handles patent prosecution in Communications, with 12 pending office actions and 1803 career applications. The pending docket is modest in relation to the firm’s career application volume, so the current action count represents a limited slice of its recorded prosecution activity.
The resolved allowance rate is 98.17%, indicating that resolved matters have generally reached allowance. The average of 3.49 office actions per allowance suggests that obtaining allowance has typically involved several examination exchanges. Practitioners reviewing this profile should weigh the strong allowance outcome together with the interaction burden reflected in that average.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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.

| §103 only | 7 (54%) |
