JC ONE WORLD has managed 177 career applications in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The firm currently has 9 pending office actions and a resolved allowance rate pct of 95.65.
Prosecution at the firm involves an avg office actions per allowance of 1.36. This 1.36 figure provides a basis for practitioners to anticipate the number of examiner interactions required in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector. The 95.65 resolved allowance rate pct reflects the proportion of cases that reached allowance relative to the 177 career applications. The 9 pending office actions represent the current cases awaiting a USPTO response.
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 (11%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (44%) |
| §103 only | 1 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (22%) |
