Daily Fact: USPTO Timing.

Daily Fact: According to the USPTO’s most recent Official Gazette, the slowest technology center is 3680 – Business Methods with a 41 month backlog from filing to initial office action.  The fastest is 1620 – Organic Chemistry with < 18-month delay.  An important caveat to these numbers is that it includes RCE reworks which substantially reduce the delay of O-Chem.
