Cozen O'Connor - Boulder handles a volume of 160 pending office actions in Networking & Security. This workload contributes to the firm's total of 19404 career applications. The resolved allowance rate of 85.64 percent reflects the firm's overall effectiveness in navigating the patent office.
An average of 3.35 office actions per allowance is required to secure a patent. This metric suggests that the 160 pending office actions will likely undergo multiple rounds of examination. The firm's 85.64 percent allowance rate across 19404 career applications underscores its established presence in complex technology sectors. This volume of 160 pending office actions demonstrates the firm's capacity for large-scale prosecution in networking fields.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 58 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. 58 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 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 20 (8%) |
| §103 only | 85 (34%) |
| §102 only | 20 (8%) |
| §112 only | 9 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (0%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (0%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 109 (44%) |
