Setter Roche Smith & Shellenberger LLP has 62 pending office actions in Computing & Software and 2777 career applications. The profile shows a substantial current workload alongside a broad historical application record.
The resolved allowance rate is 87.37%, with an average of 3.5 office actions per allowance. The outcome rate indicates the recorded level of resolved allowance success, while the action average signals that allowed cases typically involve several examination exchanges. This combination gives practitioners a more complete view than either workload or outcome data alone.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 9 (15%) |
| §103 only | 24 (40%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (32%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
