Stanek Lemon Crouse and Meeks, PA handles 1454 career applications in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals technology area. The firm has a resolved allowance rate pct of 89.04. Prosecution involves an avg office actions per allowance of 3.29.
The firm is currently managing 36 pending office actions. The 89.04 resolved allowance rate pct and 3.29 avg office actions per allowance are based on the firm's 1454 career applications. These metrics provide a data-driven profile of the firm's performance in 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 | 5 (11%) |
| §103 only | 11 (25%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (48%) |
