Law Office of Dorian Cartwright has 15 pending office actions in Networking & Security and 690 career applications. The current docket is active, and the historical application volume provides context for the firm’s prosecution work in this technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 95.88%, while the average is 3.21 office actions per allowance. The allowance measure records outcomes among resolved matters, and the office-action measure indicates the examination effort associated with allowed matters. Practitioners can use both when planning prosecution, while still evaluating each pending application on its own claims and record.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (7%) |
| §103 only | 7 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (29%) |
