This profile covers Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and includes 523 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 78.18%, and the average is 3.1 office actions per allowance. The figures show a substantial prosecution record with an allowance outcome below the other reported historical measure and multiple actions commonly preceding allowance.
There are 8 pending office actions. That active workload should be managed separately from the resolved record, particularly because the available outcome data does not establish how those matters will conclude. Counsel can use the action average for planning response effort and the allowance rate for historical context when advising clients on prosecution strategy in this technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (12%) |
| §103 only | 3 (38%) |
| §112 only | 1 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (12%) |
