YEE AND ASSOCIATES, P.C. has 14 pending office actions in Computing & Software and 346 career applications. The profile shows an active docket supported by a defined application history.
The resolved allowance rate is 43.39%, and the average is 6.3 office actions per allowance. These figures point to a prosecution record with a lower reported allowance outcome and more office-action activity per allowance than the other metrics in this profile might suggest in isolation.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 3 (19%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (19%) |
| §103 only | 7 (44%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (12%) |
