RUTAN & TUCKER, LLP focuses on Networking & Security, with 4,068 career applications and 94 pending office actions. The figures show a substantial application history and an active current docket in the stated technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 84.84%, and the average is 3.79 office actions per allowance. The rate describes resolved outcomes, while the action average indicates the amount of recorded examination activity associated with allowances. For prospective clients, these measures provide separate perspectives on results and prosecution effort and should be reviewed together.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 29 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. 29 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 | 2 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 9 (10%) |
| §103 only | 27 (30%) |
| §102 only | 2 (2%) |
| §112 only | 8 (9%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 34 (37%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
