PABST PATENT GROUP LLP operates in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and records 3,822 career applications. The firm has 123 pending office actions, giving its current docket a substantial unresolved prosecution component that warrants structured monitoring.
Its resolved allowance rate is 76.16%, and an allowance follows an average of 4.67 office actions. That combination provides a useful basis for assessing both outcome frequency and the amount of examiner interaction typically associated with successful matters. Portfolio reviews should account for response workload as well as eventual allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 44 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. 44 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 | 15 (12%) |
| §103 only | 28 (22%) |
| §112 only | 10 (8%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 14 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 56 (44%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
