CENTRAL CALIFORNIA IP GROUP, P.C. handles 1879 career applications in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The firm currently has 8 pending office actions and a resolved allowance rate of 84.62 percent.
The firm averages 2.98 office actions per allowance. This metric indicates the typical number of examiner interactions required to secure a patent. For practitioners, the 84.62 percent allowance rate and the 2.98 average office actions per allowance provide a data-grounded basis for evaluating the firm's prosecution outcomes and the expected timeline for chemical patent applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (7%) |
| §103 only | 5 (36%) |
| §112 only | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (50%) |
