58 pending office actions • 8 clients • 57 examiners • 48 art units • 2 of 58 (3%) have an AI response strategy ready
Foley IP Law, PLLC has 62 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 1392 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 86.96%, with an average of 3.09 office actions per allowance. The record shows an active docket supported by a meaningful application history.
The allowance rate addresses resolved outcomes, while the action average describes examination activity associated with matters that reached allowance. Considering both measures helps practitioners distinguish favorable resolution from the work required to achieve it. The technology focus calls for attention to claim strategy across transportation, mechanical, and commerce-related inventions, while the pending figure indicates current workload rather than future results.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 | 9 (16%) |
| §101 + other | 19 (33%) |
| §103 only | 14 (24%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (19%) |
