Casimir Jones, S.C. has 348 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and 11164 career applications. The pending docket and application history both show substantial activity in this technology area, giving practitioners a meaningful basis for evaluating prosecution capacity and experience.
The resolved allowance rate is 80.65%, with an average of 4.15 office actions per allowance. The allowance measure describes the firm’s recorded success in resolved matters, while the action average indicates that allowances are associated with repeated examination activity. Applicants should account for that interaction when planning claim amendments, response schedules, and expected prosecution effort.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 105 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. 105 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 | 6 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 46 (13%) |
| §103 only | 88 (25%) |
| §102 only | 12 (3%) |
| §112 only | 26 (7%) |
