Analysis

Houston Beshining Law Office PLLC has 12 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and 283 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 70.94%, with an average of 2.51 office actions per allowance.

The profile combines a current docket with historical prosecution measures in the same technical area. The allowance rate provides an outcome signal for resolved matters, while the office-action average points to the response burden associated with allowances. Practitioners evaluating this record should consider both measures rather than treating either one as a complete description of prosecution performance.
