BANNER & WITCOFF, LTD. has 806 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 56,497 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 92.02%, and the average is 2.25 office actions per allowance. The record combines a large active docket with a broad historical application base.
The 92.02% allowance rate supplies a favorable resolved-outcome measure within the reported record, while 2.25 actions per allowance indicates fewer examination cycles than a profile with a higher action average would show. For practitioners, the figures support planning for a substantial workload with an allowance history that is accompanied by a relatively limited average response sequence. The technology designation remains important when applying this record to a specific matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 229 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. 229 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.

|---|---|
| §101 only | 34 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 91 (11%) |
| §103 only | 288 (36%) |
