FIG. 1 Patents has 215 pending office actions in Networking & Security and 4277 career applications. The current docket reflects substantial prosecution activity, while the application history provides a broad basis for reviewing the firm’s record.
The resolved allowance rate is 96.24%, with an average of 3.56 office actions per allowance. The rate indicates that a very large share of resolved matters reached allowance, while the average shows that allowances commonly followed multiple examination exchanges. These figures can support portfolio staffing and expectation-setting, with each pending matter still requiring substantive review.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 36 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. 36 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 | 3 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 22 (10%) |
| §103 only | 88 (41%) |
| §102 only | 19 (9%) |
| §112 only | 3 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (0%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 77 (36%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
