SERVILLA WHITNEY LLC focuses its practice on Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, having handled 1311 career applications in this field. The firm currently maintains a resolved allowance rate pct of 78.91. There are 26 pending office actions active across its current docket. The 1311 career applications demonstrate the firm's expertise in the biotechnology environment.
The average office actions per allowance for this firm is 3.63. This metric suggests that applications typically undergo several rounds of review before reaching an allowance. The 78.91 resolved allowance rate pct serves as a performance indicator for the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector. With 26 pending office actions, the firm continues to engage with the patent office. These data points provide a view of the firm's prosecution efficiency and success rate within its primary technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (11%) |
| §103 only | 8 (22%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| §112 only | 6 (16%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (35%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
