Cozen O'Connor-DC Office handles Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals matters. The profile includes 6 pending office actions and 19456 career applications, showing a limited current docket within a broad historical application record.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.66%, with an average of 3.35 office actions per allowance. The record indicates frequent allowance among resolved matters, while also suggesting that several examination exchanges may precede that result. Practitioners should use the figures for portfolio context and assess each biotechnology matter independently.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
