25 pending office actions • 2 clients • 19 examiners • 16 art units • 0 of 25 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Gilliam IP PLLC (Palo Alto Networks) has 25 pending office actions in Networking & Security and 651 career applications. The resolved allowance rate is 96.34%, indicating that most measured resolved matters reached allowance.
The average of 2.61 office actions per allowance shows that favorable matters generally involved multiple examination exchanges. This record gives practitioners a basis for planning active responses while using historical performance to assess prosecution strategy. Networking and security claims often require precise treatment of system architecture, data handling, and technical security operations, so amendments should preserve the distinction between a concrete implementation and a result stated only at a functional level.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 2 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (12%) |
| §103 only | 7 (28%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (40%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (4%) |
