Technology area: Computing & Software
68 pending office actions • 3 clients • 68 examiners • 54 art units • 9 of 68 (13%) have an AI response strategy ready
Newport IP, LLC records 69 pending office actions in Computing & Software and 1,605 career applications. The figures show a meaningful active docket supported by a substantial historical prosecution record.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.79%, and the average office actions per allowance is 3.37. The allowance result indicates that most resolved matters reached allowance, while the action average shows that allowed cases commonly required multiple examination responses.
For practitioners, the profile supports balancing docket administration with careful review of software claim strategy. The underlying files can show whether successful outcomes depended on technical explanations, functional limitations, claim restructuring, or targeted responses to prior-art rejections.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 | 6 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 16 (24%) |
| §103 only | 32 (47%) |
| §102 only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (13%) |
