PERKINS COIE LLP - LOS GENERAL handles Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals matters and has 10 pending office actions. The firm reports 1882 career applications, giving the active docket a substantial historical context.
The resolved allowance rate is 75.84%, and the average office actions per allowance is 3.55. These measures separate prosecution outcome from examination effort, with the rate addressing resolved allowances and the action average describing activity before allowance. Practitioners can use both measures when assessing response planning and the firm’s recorded handling of biotechnology and pharmaceutical applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 | 1 (11%) |
| §103 only | 2 (22%) |
| §112 only | 1 (11%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (44%) |
