The Law Firm of Jason R. German handles Communications matters, with 289 career applications and 13 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 95.67%, indicating a strong allowance outcome in the recorded resolved matters.
The average of 4.15 office actions per allowance shows that the favorable outcome can require extensive examination activity. That distinction matters for prosecution planning: the allowance rate describes resolution, while the office-action average describes the effort preceding it. The pending docket also signals continuing response obligations, and the application total provides the scale needed to interpret the historical outcome.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 (38%) |
| §103 only | 5 (38%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (23%) |
