This profile covers Computing & Software and includes 820 career applications. The resolved allowance rate is 95.03%, and the average is 3.41 office actions per allowance. The record indicates a high reported allowance outcome with multiple examination interactions typically occurring before allowance.
The profile has 23 pending office actions, creating a meaningful active docket alongside the historical application record. Practitioners can use the allowance rate to assess resolved outcomes and the action average to anticipate prosecution activity, while reviewing the pending cases independently. For software matters, the data supports disciplined response planning without treating the historical result as a guarantee for unresolved applications.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (15%) |
| §103 only | 8 (40%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (45%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
