PERKINS COIE LLP - PAO General operates in Communications and has 28 pending office actions. Its career application volume is 7055, placing the active docket within a broad prosecution record.
The resolved allowance rate is 84.27%, and the average office actions per allowance is 3.27. These measures distinguish the result of resolved matters from the examination activity associated with allowed cases. Practitioners can use the profile to evaluate current office-action response needs alongside the firm’s documented experience handling communications applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (15%) |
| §103 only | 7 (26%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| §112 only | 3 (11%) |
| Double-patenting only | 6 (22%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (19%) |
