REISING ETHINGTON-BORGWARNER has 5 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics and 189 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 87.07%, indicating that allowance was achieved in most resolved matters in the reported record.
The firm averages 2.97 office actions per allowance. This suggests that allowed applications commonly required repeated prosecution attention before resolution. The profile is especially useful for evaluating the BorgWarner relationship within its stated technology area, but its application base is more focused than a large general practice record. A practitioner should therefore treat the outcome measures as relationship-specific rather than as a broad firm-wide picture.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 2 (29%) |
| §102 only | 2 (29%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
