KATTEN MUCHIN ROSENMAN LLP has handled 7875 career applications, with a focus on Chemistry & Materials. The firm currently manages 31 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate pct stands at 78.08, reflecting its performance in securing patent rights within this technical field. This 78.08 resolved allowance rate pct provides a baseline for evaluating the firm's success in resolving applications. The 31 pending office actions are fewer than the 7875 career applications.
On average, the firm sees 3.53 office actions per allowance. This metric provides a benchmark for the complexity of prosecution in Chemistry & Materials for this firm. With its history of applications, the firm demonstrates experience navigating the specific requirements of this technology sector. The 3.53 avg office actions per allowance suggests that clients should prepare for the examination process. Practitioners can use the resolved allowance rate pct and the avg office actions per allowance to set expectations for the prosecution cycle.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 15 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. 15 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 (8%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (10%) |
| §103 only | 11 (28%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (38%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (3%) |
