The Law Office of Tong Lee handles Computing & Software matters, with 151 career applications and 7 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 89.19%, showing that a substantial share of resolved applications reached allowance.
Allowed matters average 2.77 office actions. This indicates that prosecution commonly includes multiple examination steps, even with the recorded allowance outcome. For practitioners, the profile supports planning around both current docket activity and expected response work. The application total gives context to the rate, while the office-action average describes the path taken by allowed matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 3 (50%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 1 (17%) |
