Reichel Stohry Dean LLP has managed 953 career applications with a primary focus on the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 81.36 percent. This performance is achieved with an average of 3.82 office actions per allowance, which provides a metric for the typical prosecution cycle length for its clients.
Currently, the firm has 21 pending office actions on its docket. The data indicates a consistent engagement in the biotechnology sector across its 953 career applications. Practitioners can evaluate the average office actions as a measure of the typical examiner interaction required to reach an allowance. The 81.36 percent allowance rate reflects the firm's success in securing patent rights within its primary field of expertise.
With 21 pending office actions, the firm continues to navigate the examination process for its active portfolio. The relationship between the career applications and the allowance rate suggests a stable track record in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The 3.82 average office actions per allowance serves as a key indicator of the firm's prosecution strategy and efficiency.
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 only | 1 (4%) |
| §103 only | 6 (21%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (71%) |
