Technology area: Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals
105 pending office actions • 50 clients • 72 examiners • 43 art units • 0 of 105 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
The profile covers Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and shows 107 pending office actions. The record includes 29895 career applications, providing broad context for the current biotechnology and pharmaceutical workload.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.63%, and the average is 3.32 office actions per allowance. These figures indicate the reported resolved allowance outcome while showing repeated examination activity before allowance. Practitioners can use the two measures independently when evaluating likely results and response demands.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 30 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. 30 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 19 (18%) |
| §103 only | 15 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (1%) |
| §112 only | 14 (13%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 16 (15%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 31 (30%) |
| No statute on record | 4 (4%) |
