CURATOLO SIDOTI & TRILLIS CO., LPA is a patent law firm that has managed 1491 career applications. The firm specializes in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. Its prosecution history shows a resolved allowance rate pct of 85.59. This performance level is supported by an avg office actions per allowance of 4.08. The firm currently manages 39 pending office actions across its active docket.
The avg office actions per allowance of 4.08 indicates a prosecution environment where dialogue with the USPTO occurs over several cycles. In the Chemistry & Materials sector, such a figure reflects the technical amendments or arguments required during prosecution. The resolved allowance rate pct of 85.59 shows that the firm converts a majority of its 1491 career applications into granted patents. For clients, the 39 pending office actions represent the ongoing efforts of the firm. These figures provide a baseline for understanding the firm's work in Chemistry & Materials.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 22 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. 22 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 | 5 (9%) |
| §103 only | 15 (28%) |
| §102 only | 2 (4%) |
| §112 only | 3 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 25 (47%) |
