KHMRG (NVIDIA) has a portfolio in Computing & Software, with 25735 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate pct of 94.77. Currently, there are 66 pending office actions. The 94.77 resolved allowance rate pct is based on the 25735 applications managed by the firm. The 66 pending office actions are fewer than the career applications.
The avg office actions per allowance is 3.85. This indicates that the firm maintains a success rate, though it requires interaction with the USPTO to reach allowance. This 3.85 avg office actions per allowance reflects a persistent prosecution strategy. With 25735 career applications, these metrics provide a picture of the firm's performance in the Computing & Software sector. 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. 25 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. 25 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 | 5 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 30 (41%) |
| §103 only | 25 (34%) |
| §102 only | 3 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (12%) |
