THOMAS|HORSTEMEYER, LLP - UF has 29 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals. The profile also records a career application volume of 17058, with the UF designation attached to a practice history in the same technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 73.95%, and the average is 2.99 office actions per allowance. These metrics provide an outcome and examination-effort context for the recorded application history.
For practitioners, the 29 pending actions identify current work within the UF-specific profile, while the career figures describe the broader reported history associated with the name. The data does not show which applications or clients account for the pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 only | 1 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (22%) |
| §103 only | 6 (22%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (44%) |
