NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT US LLP - CHMC handles Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals matters with 11 pending office actions and 123 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 85.19%, indicating allowance in a substantial majority of resolved cases. The pending inventory is notable in relation to the recorded application portfolio, so current prosecution activity warrants direct docket attention.
The average of 4.43 office actions per allowance indicates that allowed matters often involve repeated examination exchanges. Practitioners should plan for substantive response work even with a favorable resolved allowance result. The profile is most useful when the allowance rate is considered alongside the action average, since outcome and prosecution effort describe different aspects of representation.
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 | 3 (27%) |
| §112 only | 1 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (64%) |
