PANITCH SCHWARZE BELISARIO & NADEL LLP records 13,372 career applications in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The firm has 203 pending office actions, showing a large active docket that calls for systematic tracking of examiner correspondence and response deadlines.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.27%, with an average of 3.11 office actions per allowance. The record supplies both an outcome measure and a prosecution-effort measure. Practitioners can use them together when evaluating portfolio performance, staffing response work, and setting expectations for the path from examination to allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 58 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. 58 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 | 2 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 20 (10%) |
| §103 only | 71 (36%) |
| §102 only | 9 (4%) |
| §112 only | 13 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (0%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 15 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 68 (34%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
