FBT Gibbons LLP has 139 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 6752 career applications. The current docket shows substantial activity, while the application history provides a broad foundation for evaluating prosecution experience.
The resolved allowance rate is 82.18%, and the average is 2.97 office actions per allowance. These figures indicate the historical share of resolved matters reaching allowance and the examination activity commonly preceding that result. They can help with workload planning, but the pending matters still require separate analysis of their claims and examiner positions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 40 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. 40 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 | 5 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 23 (17%) |
| §103 only | 30 (22%) |
| §102 only | 7 (5%) |
| §112 only | 8 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 14 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 47 (34%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
