Eversheds Sutherland GE manages 7 pending office actions in the Computing & Software technology area. The firm draws on a background of 10974 career applications, maintaining a resolved allowance rate pct of 90.45. This success rate is a significant indicator of the firm's proficiency in software-related patenting.
The prosecution of these applications typically involves an avg office actions per allowance of 3.63. This metric provides a clear expectation for the 7 pending office actions currently in the firm's queue. The 90.45 resolved allowance rate pct suggests that the firm is effective at navigating the complexities of the Computing & Software field.
With 10974 career applications, the firm has established a deep data set for its 3.63 avg office actions per allowance. Practitioners can rely on these figures to project the likely outcome and effort required for the 7 pending office actions.
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 | 1 (10%) |
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (60%) |
