6 pending office actions • 3 clients • 6 examiners • 6 art units • 2 of 6 (33%) have an AI response strategy ready
Tong, Rea, Bentley & Kim, LLC has 7 pending office actions in Networking & Security. The firm reports 1836 career applications, a resolved allowance rate of 89.96%, and an average of 5.14 office actions per allowance.
The application total establishes a broad prosecution record in the available data. Its resolved allowance rate provides an outcome view, while the office-action average points to the examination activity associated with allowed cases. The pending matters represent current work and should be assessed separately from resolved cases. For counsel selection, the profile is particularly relevant where a client values substantial networking and security experience alongside an explicit record of prosecution effort.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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.
