REISING ETHINGTON P.C. has 90 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 5182 career applications. The application base indicates extensive experience in the firm’s reported technology area. Its resolved allowance rate is 90.81%, so allowance is the recorded outcome for most resolved matters.
The firm averages 2.7 office actions per allowance. That figure indicates that successful prosecution generally includes more than one office interaction, while remaining below the firm’s pending-action volume as a measure of current workload. Practitioners can read this profile as evidence of a substantial active docket, broad application experience, and a prosecution process that combines favorable resolution with recurring examiner engagement.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 19 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. 19 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 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (4%) |
| §103 only | 20 (22%) |
| §102 only | 4 (4%) |
| §112 only | 6 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 53 (60%) |
