Fox Rothschild LLP has 389 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and 10880 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 81.38%, and allowed matters average 3.36 office actions. The profile reflects a substantial active docket and an extensive application history in a specialized technology area.
The allowance rate addresses resolved outcomes across the recorded portfolio, while the action average describes examination activity associated with allowed matters. Practitioners can use these measures to distinguish outcome performance from the work required to reach allowance. The pending docket adds current workload context, but it does not predict the result of a particular biotechnology or pharmaceutical application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 113 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. 113 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 | 13 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 35 (9%) |
| §103 only | 129 (33%) |
| §102 only | 16 (4%) |
| §112 only | 20 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 28 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 143 (36%) |
| No statute on record | 7 (2%) |
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.
