COATS & BENNETT, PLLC has 69 pending office actions in Networking & Security and a career application record of 6959. The current docket sits alongside a broad historical record in networking and security matters.
The resolved allowance rate is 90.98%, with an average of 3.46 office actions per allowance. These measures indicate that resolved matters commonly reached allowance while involving several examination exchanges on average. The combination is useful for portfolio planning: the pending docket identifies current workload, and the historical record supplies context for the likely need to manage repeated office-action responses.
The figures do not identify the issues in any particular pending matter. Practitioners should still review claim scope, cited art, and prosecution status separately, especially where networking and security technologies raise distinct technical and eligibility questions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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 | 3 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (9%) |
| §103 only | 29 (43%) |
| §102 only | 5 (7%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 18 (27%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
