Brannon Sowers & Cracraft PC/ is currently overseeing 5 pending office actions. The firm's work is concentrated in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. These 5 pending office actions constitute the firm's active prosecution docket. This level of activity allows practitioners to track the firm's current strategies and interactions with examiners in the Chemistry & Materials sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 | 2 (13%) |
| §103 only | 6 (40%) |
| §112 only | 2 (13%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 4 (27%) |
