HICKMAN BECKER BINGHAM LEDESMA LLP has 5 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The career record includes 2979 applications, giving the current docket context within a substantial software-focused prosecution history. The active matter count is limited, but it identifies ongoing examination work in a technically broad field.
The resolved allowance rate is 90.25%, and allowances have required an average of 4.46 office actions. The rate indicates the share of resolved matters reaching allowance, while the action average signals that those successful matters may involve several examination exchanges. Practitioners can use the distinction when budgeting response work and evaluating claim-development strategy.
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 + other | 3 (60%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (40%) |
