This history of 493 applications provides a foundation for assessing the firm's performance in these technical fields.
The average office actions per allowance is 4.2. This metric indicates that the prosecution process often requires more than four office actions to reach a successful conclusion. The firm's experience is based on 493 career applications and an 89.44 resolved allowance rate pct. The average of 4.2 office actions per allowance provides a specific benchmark for the intensity of examiner negotiation.

Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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.
