ASLAN LAW, P.C. focuses on Chemistry & Materials, with 641 career applications in its history. The firm's resolved allowance rate pct is 77.41. This figure provides a baseline for the likelihood of success in this specific technology area. The 77.41 percent allowance rate is a primary metric for evaluating the firm's historical performance in securing patent grants. Practitioners can use this percentage to understand the firm's track record across its career filings.
The firm currently has 22 pending office actions. An average of 2.85 office actions per allowance suggests a relatively direct path to patent issuance. This 2.85 average helps in setting expectations for the number of interactions required to reach a final decision. With 641 applications in its history, the firm has a documented record of performance. The 22 pending office actions represent the current volume of active matters the firm is pursuing.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 + other | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 8 (23%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| §112 only | 4 (11%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 20 (57%) |
