Analysis

Foster Garvey PC has 9 pending office actions in Computing & Software and 1067 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 81.5%, with an average of 3.82 office actions per allowance. The profile reflects an established application record and a current workload in a field where claim characterization can be central to prosecution.

The allowance rate reports resolved outcomes, while the action average indicates that allowed matters involve repeated examination activity. Practitioners can use these measures to separate portfolio results from the effort associated with reaching allowance. The pending docket provides current activity context, but does not establish the likely result or required response strategy for a particular software application.
