Jefferson IP Law, LLP manages a substantial portfolio in Networking & Security with 16665 career applications. The firm achieves a high resolved allowance rate of 96.48 percent, indicating a very high success rate in obtaining patent grants. This performance metric suggests that nearly all of the firm's resolved applications in this sector reach allowance.
The firm currently handles 206 pending office actions. Prosecution typically requires an average of 4.57 office actions per allowance. This average suggests a persistent approach to overcoming examiner rejections, where the firm engages in extensive negotiation to maintain its 96.48 percent allowance rate across its 16665 applications. The 206 pending actions indicate a robust and active practice in the networking field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 67 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. 67 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 | 3 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 23 (6%) |
| §103 only | 171 (48%) |
| §102 only | 33 (9%) |
| §112 only | 15 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 8 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 101 (28%) |
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.
