Capitol City TechLaw, PLLC focuses on the Chemistry & Materials technology area, where it has filed 1343 career applications. The firm currently has 25 pending office actions. Its prosecution efforts have resulted in a resolved allowance rate of 93.27 percent.
The firm achieves an average of 2.5 office actions per allowance. This metric indicates the typical number of responses required to move an application from filing to grant. For a practitioner, the 93.27 percent allowance rate suggests the frequency of successful outcomes, while the 2.5 average office actions per allowance provides a benchmark for the expected timeline and cost of the examination process in the chemical arts.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 17 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. 17 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 | 14 (37%) |
| §102 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (50%) |
