WOLF GREENFIELD & SACKS, P.C. has 653 pending office actions in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals and 35769 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 84.91%, and allowed matters average 3.61 office actions per allowance.
The pending docket indicates a significant volume of active biotechnology and pharmaceutical prosecution. The reported application base provides a broad context for the allowance rate, while the office-action average shows that allowed matters generally involve several examination exchanges. Practitioners can apply these figures to workload and response planning, particularly where claim scope depends on biological disclosure and support. The aggregate data does not establish outcomes for a particular technology, examiner, or claim set.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 205 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. 205 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 only | 13 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 64 (10%) |
| §103 only | 163 (25%) |
| §102 only | 30 (5%) |
| §112 only | 41 (6%) |
