FENWICK & WEST LLP has 267 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and 13407 career applications. The pending docket indicates substantial current activity, and the application history gives the record a broad basis for historical analysis.
The resolved allowance rate is 84.96%, and the average is 3.06 office actions per allowance. This combination shows the historical allowance share alongside the number of examination exchanges typically associated with an allowance. For portfolio managers, the figures support planning around both expected outcomes and prosecution workload.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 71 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. 71 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 | 16 (6%) |
| §101 + other | 39 (15%) |
| §103 only | 79 (30%) |
| §102 only | 10 (4%) |
| §112 only | 17 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 12 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 23 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 62 (23%) |
| No statute on record | 6 (2%) |
