Kwan & Olynick LLP specializes in the Computing & Software technology area, having managed 1243 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 87.95 percent, which demonstrates the proportion of its applications that reach a grant. This record of 1243 career applications serves as the basis for the firm's experience in the software sector.
Prosecution at the firm is characterized by an average of 4.08 office actions per allowance. This figure shows the typical number of interactions between the firm and examiners before a patent is allowed. Currently, the firm has 13 pending office actions, indicating its active workload within the Computing & Software area. These 13 pending office actions are fewer than the 1243 career applications on record.
The 1243 career applications and 87.95 percent allowance rate establish the firm's historical performance. The 4.08 office actions per allowance provide a benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution process. The 13 pending office actions represent the firm's immediate focus as it continues to manage its clients' patent portfolios.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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.
