DILWORTH IP, LLC’s profile is centered on Chemistry & Materials and reports 86 pending office actions. The career record covers 2397 applications, with a resolved allowance rate of 85.87% and an average of 3.16 office actions per allowance.
The allowance rate indicates that most resolved matters in the record reached allowance, while the action average reflects repeated examination activity before allowance. The current docket should not be interpreted as a direct measure of that historical result because pending matters have not necessarily reached resolution.
For prosecution planning, the chemistry and materials focus calls for careful alignment between claim scope and technical support. The application history can inform portfolio review, while the open-action count points to the need for active deadline control and consistent handling of recurring examination issues.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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.
