Technology area: Networking & Security
62 pending office actions • 20 clients • 60 examiners • 45 art units • 0 of 62 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
COATS & BENNETT, PLLC specializes in the Networking & Security technology area, with 6943 career applications on record. The firm currently handles 49 pending office actions, reflecting their ongoing work in the patent system. This career total of 6943 applications demonstrates their extensive experience in Networking & Security. The 49 pending office actions are a measure of their current prosecution activity.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 91.0 percent, a metric calculated from their 6943 career applications. This 91.0 percent rate indicates the firm's success in achieving patent grants. Prosecution requires an average of 3.46 office actions per allowance. For practitioners, this 3.46 average provides a benchmark for the expected number of interactions with patent examiners. The 49 pending office actions are managed alongside this 91.0 percent allowance rate and 3.46 office action average. These figures collectively describe the firm's historical performance and current engagement in the Networking & Security sector.
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 | 2 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (6%) |
| §103 only | 27 (44%) |
| §102 only | 7 (11%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (32%) |
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.
