Technology areas: Networking & Security • Communications
73 pending office actions • 2 clients • 70 examiners • 49 art units • 17 of 73 (23%) have an AI response strategy ready
Nokia Corporation and Alston & Bird LLP operate in Networking & Security with 73 pending office actions and 23963 career applications. The resolved allowance rate is 83.59%, indicating allowance in a substantial majority of resolved matters, while leaving a meaningful share unresolved without allowance. The application figure reflects a broad recorded portfolio and gives context to the current open-action inventory.
The average of 3.83 office actions per allowance indicates that allowed matters commonly involve several examination exchanges. For practitioners, the profile combines substantial portfolio scale with continuing prosecution activity and a nontrivial response burden. The allowance rate is useful for outcome planning, while the action average helps set expectations for the effort that may precede allowance in Networking & Security matters.
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 | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (8%) |
| §103 only | 29 (40%) |
| §102 only | 10 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (30%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
