Ladas & Parry LLP has handled 24407 career applications. The firm's work is centered in the Chemistry & Materials technology area, where it maintains a resolved allowance rate of 84.44 percent. This percentage reflects the firm's historical outcomes across its 24407 career applications in this field. Practitioners can use the 84.44 percent rate to evaluate the firm's performance history.
There are currently 153 pending office actions under management. The firm averages 3.04 office actions per allowance. This average provides a standard for the prosecution cycle across its Chemistry & Materials portfolio. The 153 pending office actions represent the firm's current level of active engagement with the USPTO. This workload indicates the scale of ongoing matters the firm handles.
The average of 3.04 office actions per allowance serves as a benchmark for the expected intensity of the examination process. These metrics offer a view of the firm's performance in Chemistry & Materials. Practitioners can use these data points to evaluate the firm's established prosecution patterns and anticipate the resources required for new filings.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 53 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. 53 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 | 19 (8%) |
| §103 only | 76 (30%) |
| §102 only | 17 (7%) |
| §112 only | 7 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 124 (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.
