Huawei Technologies Co.,Ltd. & Maier & Maier, PLLC operates in the Networking & Security technology area. The firm has a massive history with 14233 career applications, demonstrating extensive experience in handling high-volume patent portfolios in the telecommunications and security sectors. Its resolved allowance rate pct of 85.46 reflects a consistent ability to secure grants across this large volume of filings. This metric underscores the firm's proficiency in managing large-scale intellectual property assets.
The firm currently manages 45 pending office actions, indicating ongoing engagement with patent examiners. Prosecution efficiency is highlighted by an avg office actions per allowance of 2.78. This figure suggests a streamlined path to allowance for its 14233 career applications. The combination of an 85.46 resolved allowance rate pct and 2.78 avg office actions per allowance demonstrates the firm's ability to secure approvals with a moderate level of examiner interaction in Networking & Security. These data points provide a baseline for evaluating the firm's procedural effectiveness.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 15 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. 15 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 | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 27 (41%) |
| §102 only | 4 (6%) |
| §112 only | 3 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 31 (47%) |
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.
