Currently, there are 36 pending office actions in its docket. The 2267 career applications show a foundation of experience in networking and security patent law.
The average office actions per allowance for this profile is 3.06. This figure suggests the prosecution process for reaching an allowance in the Networking & Security field. The 90.22 resolved allowance rate pct reflects a degree of success for the 2267 career applications managed by the firm. With 36 pending office actions, the firm is actively processing its current workload. These data points together illustrate the firm's historical performance and its current status within its primary technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 4 (7%) |
| §103 only | 20 (37%) |
| §102 only | 4 (7%) |
| §112 only | 3 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (39%) |
