This profile covers Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and shows 821 pending office actions. The record includes 28822 career applications, demonstrating a large application portfolio and a substantial active prosecution workload.
The resolved allowance rate is 84.67%, and the average is 3.55 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters show allowance in most cases, while the action average indicates that allowance commonly follows several examination events.
The size of the pending docket makes prioritization, response consistency, and portfolio-level monitoring important. Practitioners can use the allowance rate to assess historical results and the action average to anticipate the effort associated with advancing matters through examination.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 226 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. 226 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 | 36 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 121 (15%) |
| §103 only | 242 (30%) |
| §102 only | 37 (5%) |
| §112 only | 32 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 26 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 40 (5%) |
