10 pending office actions • 1 client • 10 examiners • 6 art units • 0 of 10 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Clark+Elbing LLP - 10X Genomics, Inc. focuses on the Chemistry & Materials technology area, where the firm currently manages 7 pending office actions. This work is part of a larger career history of 8984 applications for the firm. The 7 pending office actions represent the current active matters for this specific client relationship. The firm's experience across 8984 career applications provides the background for their prosecution in Chemistry & Materials.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 67.87 percent across its 8984 career applications. This 67.87 percent rate serves as a benchmark for the outcomes of their patent filings. Prosecution involves an average of 3.89 office actions per allowance, a metric that describes the typical interaction with patent examiners. For practitioners, this 3.89 average is a key indicator of the effort required to reach an allowance. The 7 pending office actions are handled within the context of this 67.87 percent allowance rate and 3.89 office action average. These statistics provide a clear view of the firm's historical and current performance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (30%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (60%) |
