Kunzler Needham Hilton - Lenovo operates in Networking & Security and has 5,270 career applications associated with the profile. It currently shows 145 pending office actions. The resolved allowance rate is 90.31%, indicating that most resolved matters in this record reached allowance rather than remaining unresolved or ending without allowance.
The average of 3.42 office actions per allowance describes the prosecution effort associated with allowed matters. Together, the allowance rate and action average provide two different planning signals: the first addresses outcomes, while the second reflects the amount of office-action activity preceding an allowance. For a practitioner reviewing this portfolio, the pending-action figure identifies an active workload, while the larger application record supplies substantial historical context for interpreting the outcome measures.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 34 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. 34 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 + other | 4 (3%) |
| §103 only | 76 (53%) |
| §102 only | 12 (8%) |
| §112 only | 4 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 45 (31%) |
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.
