This profile covers Communications and shows 18 pending office actions. The record includes 13110 career applications, placing the active matters within a large historical application portfolio.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.55%, and the average is 2.82 office actions per allowance. The resolved record indicates that allowance was achieved in most matters, with nearly three office actions associated with each allowance on average.
For practitioners, the figures support a two-part review of the pending docket. The allowance rate provides an outcome benchmark, while the action average signals that continued prosecution responses may be needed to reach allowance in communications cases.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 5 (29%) |
| §102 only | 3 (18%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (47%) |
