Volpe Koenig - AMD has 31 pending office actions in Computing & Software. The associated practice record contains 33337 career applications, while its resolved allowance rate is 88.23%. These figures show that the profile sits within a large prosecution history with a high share of resolved applications reaching allowance.
The practice averages 3.19 office actions per allowance. Applicants in computing and software can therefore expect that favorable outcomes may require repeated examination responses, even within a portfolio that records a strong allowance result. The active docket identifies ongoing work for AMD in this technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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 | 5 (16%) |
| §103 only | 14 (44%) |
| §102 only | 2 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (34%) |
