GARLICK & MARKISON has 43 pending office actions in Computing & Software. Its career record includes 1328 applications, placing the current docket within a documented historical practice.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.64%, and the average is 2.51 office actions per allowance. These figures help practitioners assess resolved results and the examination interaction recorded for allowed applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 8 (19%) |
| §101 + other | 12 (29%) |
| §103 only | 11 (26%) |
| Double-patenting only | 5 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (10%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
