KW LAW LLP (Dish Technologies L.L.C.) focuses on the Networking & Security technology area, with 782 career applications. The firm achieves a resolved allowance rate of 92.44 percent, indicating the proportion of its cases that successfully reach a grant. This volume of 782 career applications provides a historical basis for the firm's experience in navigating the requirements of the patent office within the networking sector.
The firm's prosecution process averages 4.72 office actions per allowance. This figure represents the typical number of interactions with patent examiners required to reach a grant. Currently, the firm is handling 17 pending office actions, which represent its active workload in the Networking & Security sector. These 17 pending office actions are fewer than the 782 career applications on record.
The 92.44 percent allowance rate and the 4.72 office actions per allowance offer specific metrics for evaluating prosecution timelines. The 17 pending office actions show the firm's current focus, while the 782 career applications document its historical involvement in the field. These figures provide a data-grounded view of the firm's activity and results.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 10 (48%) |
| §102 only | 2 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (33%) |
