Berg Hill Greenleaf & Ruscitti LLP operates in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector, having managed 1018 career applications. The firm has achieved a resolved allowance rate of 84.54 percent, which serves as a key indicator of its success. Currently, there are 21 pending office actions under the firm's management relative to its 1018 career applications.
The firm averages 3.45 office actions per allowance, reflecting a thorough prosecution process that often involves multiple rounds of communication with the patent office. This 3.45 average, combined with the 84.54 percent resolved allowance rate, suggests a persistent approach to securing patent rights. With 1018 career applications, the firm has established a significant presence. The 21 pending office actions and the 3.45 office actions per allowance metric provide a detailed look at the firm's current and historical prosecution performance, offering valuable insights for potential clients and practitioners alike.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 + other | 4 (17%) |
| §103 only | 2 (8%) |
| §102 only | 2 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (12%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (46%) |
