Foster Garvey PC focuses on Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The firm has a career total of 1061 applications. There are currently 5 pending office actions under management.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 81.42 percent. Prosecution involves an average of 3.83 office actions per allowance. These statistics reflect the firm's persistence in navigating the challenging examination process inherent in the biotech industry.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 + other | 2 (29%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §102 only | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (14%) |
