BROWN RUDNICK LLP has 113 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and 4199 career applications. The pending docket represents active examination work, and the application total shows a substantial prosecution record associated with this technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 83.0%, while the average is 3.89 office actions per allowance. The figures indicate that resolved matters reach allowance in most of the reported cases, but allowance generally follows several office actions. For practitioners, this combination highlights the importance of managing ongoing responses while accounting for continued examination in biotechnology and pharmaceutical matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 41 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. 41 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 | 4 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 10 (9%) |
| §103 only | 28 (25%) |
| §102 only | 7 (6%) |
| §112 only | 9 (8%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 9 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 40 (36%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (2%) |
