KENJA IP LAW PC focuses on Chemistry & Materials and has 162 pending office actions from 3748 career applications. The profile indicates a substantial active workload alongside a broad prosecution record.
The resolved allowance rate is 81.63%, with an average of 3.16 office actions per allowance. The rate describes resolved results, while the action average provides a separate measure of prosecution effort before allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 27 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. 27 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 + other | 12 (7%) |
| §103 only | 84 (51%) |
| §102 only | 7 (4%) |
| §112 only | 4 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 53 (32%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
