Kolitch Romano Dascenzo Gates LLP has 2895 career applications in Chemistry & Materials and 61 pending office actions. The firm therefore combines a substantial historical record with a sizeable active prosecution docket.
The resolved allowance rate is 86.08%. Each allowance required an average of 2.2 office actions, indicating that successful cases commonly involved multiple but not extensive examination exchanges. These figures help frame expected prosecution effort alongside the firm’s application experience.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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 | 5 (9%) |
| §103 only | 17 (30%) |
| §102 only | 2 (4%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 27 (48%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
