=== Notes ===
* Notice of allowance is equal to the number of NOA mentioned in the Image File Wrapper.
* First office is considered when there is any rejection of claims and there is a response from the patent office.
* Usually CTNF (Non-Final Rejection) is considered as first office action after the patent has been filed.
* In some cases CTRS (Response to Election / Restriction Filed) is considered as the first office action which is also related to claim rejection.
* In some patents Image Wrapper file is not available for them the dat has been collected from the Transaction history.
