IP Spring - RC focuses on Communications and has 1,088 career applications recorded. Its resolved allowance rate is 92.9%, indicating that allowance was achieved for a large share of resolved matters in the dataset.
The firm has 21 pending office actions, reflecting active examination work in this technology area. Allowed matters averaged 3.21 office actions, so reaching allowance generally involved multiple responses. This profile is useful for practitioners assessing a combination of established application activity, favorable resolved outcomes, and a response process that can extend beyond an initial examination cycle.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 only | 1 (5%) |
| §103 only | 14 (64%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (27%) |
