Armis Intellectual Property Law, LLC shows 64 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials, alongside 1,631 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 90.62%, and the average is 3.91 office actions per allowance. Together, these figures describe a substantial prosecution record with a high proportion of resolved applications reaching allowance, while also showing that allowed matters commonly involve multiple examination events.
The pending docket gives the firm an active current workload rather than merely a historical record. For a practitioner, the combination of application volume and outcome data supports reviewing both throughput and the level of amendment or argument needed before allowance. The action average is useful for planning prosecution resources, but it does not show whether particular technologies, examiners, or claim types drive that effort. Chemistry and materials matters may require especially close attention to written-description support, enablement, and distinctions over technically similar prior art.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 only | 3 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (8%) |
| §103 only | 15 (24%) |
| §102 only | 6 (10%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 30 (48%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
