124 pending office actions • 3 clients • 110 examiners • 59 art units • 25 of 124 (20%) have an AI response strategy ready
THE FARRELL LAW FIRM, P.C. has 122 pending office actions in Networking & Security. Its profile records 12558 career applications, providing a broad prosecution base for interpreting the current workload.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.11%, and the average is 4.78 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters commonly reach allowance, but successful cases typically involve several examination exchanges. Practitioners may focus on long-form prosecution management, response sequencing, and claim development for networking and security inventions.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 22 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. 22 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 | 1 (1%) |
| §103 only | 69 (56%) |
| §102 only | 10 (8%) |
| §112 only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 36 (29%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
