HODGSON RUSS LLP has 245 pending office actions in Networking & Security. Its career record covers 8967 applications, placing the active workload within a broad prosecution history. The figures show a practice with substantial current examination activity and an extensive recorded filing base in the same technical area.
The resolved allowance rate is 83.74%, and allowed matters have required an average of 2.7 office actions. The rate provides a measure of resolved outcomes, while the action average describes the examination effort linked to allowed cases. Practitioners should consider the two measures separately when planning portfolio responses and evaluating expected prosecution workload.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 57 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. 57 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 + other | 28 (11%) |
| §103 only | 77 (31%) |
| §102 only | 11 (4%) |
| §112 only | 14 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (1%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 7 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 109 (44%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
