Barclay Damon, LLP has 72 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 7,491 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 86.61%, with an average of 3.14 office actions per allowance. The figures show active examination work supported by a substantial historical record in the designated technology area.
The allowance rate describes the reported result for resolved matters, while the action average points to repeated prosecution activity before allowance. Practitioners can use the pending docket for current workload planning and the career measures for broader context. The profile supports preparing for multiple response cycles while recognizing that the historical application total is wider than the current pending set.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 29 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. 29 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 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 8 (11%) |
| §103 only | 24 (34%) |
| §102 only | 1 (1%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 31 (44%) |
