EIP US LLP has 75 pending office actions in Networking & Security and 1984 career applications. The data shows a sizeable active workload supported by a substantial application history in a focused technical area.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.5%, and the average office actions per allowance is 3.34. The allowance result is favorable in the recorded portfolio, while the action average indicates that successful matters commonly involved repeated examination activity before resolution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 20 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. 20 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 | 2 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 14 (19%) |
| §103 only | 32 (44%) |
| §102 only | 6 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (18%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
