Cushman Partners, LLC handles Chemistry & Materials matters with 77 pending office actions and 900 career applications. The pending docket is substantial in relation to the firm’s recorded application base, making current examination activity an important feature of its profile.
Its resolved allowance rate is 94.16%, indicating that most resolved matters in the available record reached allowance. The firm averages 2.61 office actions per allowance, which gives practitioners a concrete measure of the prosecution effort associated with successful outcomes.
Together, the outcome rate and action average support planning around a generally favorable but active prosecution process. Counsel evaluating the firm should consider both its demonstrated allowance results and the need to manage a sizable group of unresolved office actions.
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.

| §101 only | 2 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (2%) |
| §103 only | 35 (44%) |
