Klintworth & Rozenblat LLP operates in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area, where it has managed 3458 career applications. The firm's resolved allowance rate is 88.54 percent, which represents the proportion of its cases that reach a grant. This volume of 3458 career applications provides a historical basis for the firm's experience in navigating the specific requirements of the patent office within the life sciences sector.
The prosecution process at Klintworth & Rozenblat LLP involves an average of 3.66 office actions per allowance. This figure indicates the typical number of interactions between the firm and patent examiners before an application is allowed. Currently, the firm is addressing 40 pending office actions, which constitutes its active workload in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals space. These 40 pending office actions are fewer than the 3458 career applications on record.
For practitioners, the 88.54 percent allowance rate and the 3.66 office actions per allowance offer specific metrics for planning prosecution timelines. The 40 pending office actions show the firm's ongoing engagement with the patent office. These data points characterize the firm's historical and current performance in this technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 | 2 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (10%) |
| §103 only | 17 (35%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
