Harrity & Harrity, LLP, in the Qualcomm profile, has 420 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The entry shares a career record of 19,915 applications, providing firm-level context for a large active technology-specific docket.
The resolved allowance rate is 95.61%, with an average of 3.31 office actions per allowance. These figures describe the recorded prosecution history associated with the profile data, but the record does not isolate Qualcomm-specific historical outcomes.
The combination of networking and security subject matter with a substantial pending-action count makes current docket management an important practical consideration. Application-level claim scope and matter-specific timing are not reported.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 122 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. 122 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 | 1 (0%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (1%) |
| §103 only | 233 (54%) |
| §102 only | 36 (8%) |
| §112 only | 6 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 144 (33%) |
| No statute on record | 5 (1%) |
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.
