Currently, the firm has 7 pending office actions to address.
The 1029 career applications and 90.3 percent allowance rate reflect the firm's practice in its primary technology area.

These figures offer a data-grounded view of the firm's historical performance and current workload for practitioners evaluating the firm's Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals experience.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| §102 only | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (56%) |
