CHERNOFF, VILHAUER, MCCLUNG & STENZEL, LLP handles 4166 career applications in the Networking & Security technology area. The firm currently has 25 pending office actions and a resolved allowance rate of 80.67 percent.
The average of 3.31 office actions per allowance describes the typical examination process for granted patents. This figure helps practitioners understand the number of responses often required to reach an allowance. The 80.67 percent allowance rate, paired with the 3.31 average office actions, reflects the firm's historical track record in this specific technology sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 + other | 2 (5%) |
| §103 only | 10 (27%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| §112 only | 4 (11%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (41%) |
