BLANK ROME LLP handles Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals matters and has 211 pending office actions. Its career record contains 23423 applications, supporting review of a broad prosecution history in this technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 83.42%, and the average number of office actions per allowance is 3.24. The pending workload and application history provide context for scale, while the outcome and office-action measures help practitioners evaluate both resolution results and prosecution intensity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 65 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. 65 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 (0%) |
| §101 + other | 21 (10%) |
| §103 only | 57 (28%) |
| §102 only | 16 (8%) |
| §112 only | 6 (3%) |
