This Qualcomm profile covers Networking & Security and reports 39 pending office actions. The associated career record contains 34995 applications, with a resolved allowance rate of 85.36% and an average of 3.05 office actions per allowance.
The historical allowance rate indicates that a majority of resolved matters reached allowance, while the action average reflects multiple examination exchanges in the typical allowed matter. Those figures provide context for the broader record and do not determine the eventual outcome of the open Qualcomm actions.
Networking and security prosecution benefits from precise treatment of system relationships, protocol functionality, and claim differentiation. Practitioners can use the historical record for process monitoring while prioritizing the 39 open actions by deadline, technical complexity, and the client’s commercial objectives.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 + other | 2 (5%) |
| §103 only | 20 (54%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (38%) |
