10 pending office actions • 4 clients • 8 examiners • 5 art units • 0 of 10 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Kaufman & Canoles, P.C. operates in the technology area of Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The firm has managed 139 career applications, resulting in a resolved allowance rate pct of 96.84. This success rate is supported by a current workload of 7 pending office actions. The 96.84 resolved allowance rate pct indicates that nearly all resolved applications handled by the firm in this sector result in a grant. The 7 pending office actions are fewer than the 139 career applications.
The firm averages 2.28 office actions per allowance. This metric suggests that the firm often secures patent grants through its prosecution efforts. For a firm with 139 career applications, these figures demonstrate its prosecution results within its technical domain. The 2.28 avg office actions per allowance provides an expectation for the typical duration of the examination process. Practitioners can use the resolved allowance rate pct and the avg office actions per allowance to set expectations for the prosecution cycle.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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.

| §101 only | 1 (10%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (40%) |
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
