IPX PLLC handles Networking & Security matters and has 840 career applications recorded. Its resolved allowance rate is 91.13%, indicating that allowance was reached in most resolved matters represented by the profile.
The firm has 108 pending office actions, which signals a substantial active examination workload. The average of 2.91 office actions per allowance shows that allowed matters typically required multiple responses. For practitioners, the profile combines a favorable resolved outcome with an active docket that calls for systematic prosecution management.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 29 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. 29 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 | 3 (3%) |
| §103 only | 54 (50%) |
| §102 only | 15 (14%) |
| §112 only | 3 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 32 (30%) |
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.
