COZEN O'CONNOR focuses on Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. Its profile shows 86 pending office actions and 19456 career applications, reflecting a substantial historical prosecution record alongside an active current docket. The volume supports formal docket controls, prioritization of matters by response urgency, and consistent review of recurring examination issues.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.66%, and the average is 3.35 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters therefore frequently reach allowance, although they may involve several rounds of examination. Practitioners can treat the aggregate result as a useful portfolio indicator while still tailoring prosecution strategy to the claims and prior-art record of each matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 17 (19%) |
| §103 only | 20 (23%) |
| §102 only | 6 (7%) |
| §112 only | 5 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 38 (43%) |
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.
