PERKINS COIE LLP - PAO General handles a large-scale portfolio of 7261 career applications within Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The firm has achieved a resolved allowance rate of 84.54 percent across this extensive history. Prosecution requires an average of 3.27 office actions per allowance, which provides a baseline for expected examiner engagement.
Currently, there are 47 pending office actions under management. The 84.54 percent allowance rate indicates consistent performance across thousands of filings. The 3.27 office actions per allowance figure suggests a more intensive negotiation process compared to other technical niches. With 7261 career applications, the data reflects a mature and high-volume prosecution practice.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (14%) |
| §103 only | 9 (26%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| §112 only | 3 (9%) |
| Double-patenting only | 6 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (23%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
