CHERNOFF, VILHAUER, MCCLUNG & STENZEL, LLP has 38 pending office actions in Networking & Security and 4171 career applications. The active docket and application record indicate substantial activity in a technology area where system architecture, communications, and security features may require detailed prosecution analysis.
The resolved allowance rate is 80.58%, with an average of 3.31 office actions per allowance. These figures show both the frequency of favorable resolved outcomes and the examination activity associated with reaching allowance. Applicants can use the profile to plan for continued examiner engagement and to evaluate whether the firm’s experience matches the technical and procedural demands of the portfolio.
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.
