Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
71 pending office actions • 24 clients • 70 examiners • 58 art units • 0 of 71 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready • 125 patents granted in the last 365 days
IDEA Intellectual Limited has 71 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 1705 career applications. The profile combines a substantial application base with an active unresolved workload in a specialized technology area.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.9%, while the average is 2.11 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters therefore show frequent allowance with fewer recorded office-action cycles than the other prosecution measure in this profile.
Practitioners should use efficient response workflows for the active docket, while preserving careful analysis of composition, process, and materials distinctions in each application.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 3 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (10%) |
| §103 only | 19 (27%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 8 (11%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 29 (41%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
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.
