Kolitch Romano Dascenzo Gates LLP specializes in the Chemistry & Materials technology area, where it has filed 2885 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 86.16 percent, showing the percentage of its cases that reach a grant. This performance metric indicates the firm's experience in navigating the requirements of the patent office for chemical and material science innovations across its 2885 career applications.
The firm's prosecution process involves an average of 2.2 office actions per allowance. This metric indicates the typical number of interactions between the firm and patent examiners before an application reaches an allowance. Currently, there are 48 pending office actions on the firm's docket, representing its active workload within the Chemistry & Materials sector. These 48 pending office actions are fewer than the 2885 career applications on record.
The 86.16 percent allowance rate and the 2.2 office actions per allowance provide specific benchmarks for the firm's prosecution performance. The 48 pending office actions reflect the firm's current activity, while the 2885 career applications document its historical involvement in the field. These figures offer a data-grounded view of the firm's results.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 (8%) |
| §103 only | 19 (30%) |
| §102 only | 3 (5%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 33 (52%) |
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.
