55 pending office actions • 19 clients • 55 examiners • 30 art units • 0 of 55 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
CARRIER SHENDE AND ASSOCIATES PC handles 4735 career applications in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The firm currently has 40 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate stands at 90.03 percent.
The average of 2.68 office actions per allowance reflects the firm's prosecution cycle. This statistic is valuable for practitioners when setting expectations for the number of examiner interactions. The 90.03 percent allowance rate, when viewed alongside the 2.68 average office actions, demonstrates the firm's historical success in obtaining chemical and materials patents.
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 only | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 9 (16%) |
| §103 only | 26 (47%) |
| §102 only | 5 (9%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (22%) |
