NovoTechIP International PLLC operates within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The firm has managed 1553 career applications and maintains a resolved allowance rate of 89.04 percent.
The firm currently has 30 pending office actions. Prosecution involves an average of 3.12 office actions per allowance. This average of 3.12 suggests that practitioners often engage in multiple rounds of communication with the USPTO to secure a grant for their 1553 career applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 | 9 (22%) |
| §103 only | 21 (51%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (24%) |
