SoCAL IP LAW GROUP LLP has 17 pending office actions in Communications. Its record includes 2976 career applications, an 84.56% resolved allowance rate, and an average of 3.0 office actions per allowance. These figures provide a historical context for the current communications docket.
The allowance rate describes the reported share of resolved matters reaching allowance, while the office-action average indicates that allowance typically follows several examination exchanges. Practitioners can use the data for portfolio planning, but should assess each pending matter through its claims, cited art, and response history.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 3 (17%) |
| §103 only | 5 (28%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 2 (11%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (22%) |
