Technology area: Networking & Security
780 pending office actions • 201 clients • 687 examiners • 324 art units • 198 of 780 (25%) have an AI response strategy ready • 1,207 patents granted in the last 365 days
This profile records 788 pending office actions in Networking & Security and 51502 career applications. The open docket is substantial, while the application figure reflects the broader recorded prosecution base.
The resolved allowance rate is 79.75%, and allowed matters averaged 3.34 office actions. The outcome data therefore points to a resolved allowance result below four-fifths and repeated examination activity for allowed cases.
For prosecution planning, the pending-action figure signals active workload in Networking & Security, while the historical figures provide context for resolution expectations. They should not be treated as a prediction for any individual application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 172 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. 172 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 | 21 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 93 (12%) |
| §103 only | 275 (35%) |
| §102 only | 55 (7%) |
| §112 only | 26 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 12 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 32 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 257 (33%) |
| No statute on record | 9 (1%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
