Ladas & Parry LLP works in Chemistry & Materials and has 24,440 career applications associated with the profile. It records 241 pending office actions, providing a substantial current docket. The resolved allowance rate is 84.44%, so allowance is recorded for a smaller share of resolved matters than the remainder of the profile's resolved outcomes.
The average of 3.04 office actions per allowance describes the prosecution activity associated with allowed matters. This is distinct from the allowance rate, which describes outcome rather than effort. For practitioners, the pending docket signals active workload, while the large application history provides context for reading the resolution and action measures as portfolio indicators rather than as observations from a single matter.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 49 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. 49 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 | 4 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 20 (8%) |
| §103 only | 73 (30%) |
| §102 only | 15 (6%) |
| §112 only | 8 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 123 (50%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (0%) |
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.
