Rimon PC - HW operates in the Networking & Security technology area with 1019 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 86.03 percent. It averages 2.4 office actions per allowance, indicating the typical frequency of office actions before an allowance is granted.
The firm has 45 pending office actions. The 86.03 percent allowance rate is derived from 1019 career applications. The 2.4 average office actions per allowance suggests a relatively efficient path to allowance in the networking sector. This data provides a clear picture of the firm's prosecution experience and success rate.
The 1019 career applications provide a robust data set for evaluating the firm's 86.03 percent allowance rate. The 45 pending office actions show a steady volume of ongoing work. Practitioners can use the average office actions per allowance to benchmark the expected effort and duration for applications in this field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 + other | 2 (3%) |
| §103 only | 38 (54%) |
| §102 only | 6 (8%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 24 (34%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
