C. Tumey Law Group PLLC operates in the Networking & Security technology area, where it has processed 1453 career applications. This volume of work reflects a significant level of experience in the high-tech patent landscape. The firm is currently handling 12 pending office actions, which constitutes its active workload in this sector. These figures indicate a firm with a solid historical foundation and ongoing activity.
The firm reports a resolved allowance rate pct of 78.95, showing a consistent ability to secure patent grants for its clients. This rate is achieved with an avg_office_actions_per_allowance of 3.83, suggesting that the prosecution process often requires several rounds of communication with the USPTO. The 78.95 resolved allowance rate pct is a key metric of the firm's success in the Networking & Security field. With 1453 career applications, the 3.83 avg_office_actions_per_allowance provides a benchmark for the expected duration of the examination phase. These statistics offer a clear view of the firm's performance and its capacity to manage patent portfolios.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 6 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (50%) |
