Iandiorio Teska & Coleman, LLP has experience in the Chemistry & Materials technology area, as evidenced by 1148 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 88.55 percent for these 1148 career applications. This success is achieved through an average of 3.61 office actions per allowance, which reflects a detailed and iterative prosecution style necessary for complex chemical and materials patents. Such a style involves frequent communication with examiners to overcome technical rejections.
The firm is currently processing 7 pending office actions. These 7 pending office actions constitute the present active docket in this technology area. With an average of 3.61 office actions per allowance, the firm demonstrates a commitment to navigating the patent office's requirements to uphold its 88.55 percent allowance rate. The experience gained from the total career applications informs the strategy used for these current matters. The firm's historical data provides a clear indication of the procedural commitment required for success in these technical areas.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 1 (10%) |
| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (70%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
