Laine IP Oy is active in Chemistry & Materials and has 1,527 career applications. The profile shows 66 pending office actions and a resolved allowance rate of 90.15%. Thus, allowance is the recorded result for most resolved matters in this dataset.
Allowed matters average 3.86 office actions per allowance. The action average describes prosecution activity leading to allowance, while the rate describes the outcome after resolution. The pending docket identifies current work requiring attention, and the application total supplies historical scale for interpreting these indicators. Together, the measures can help practitioners separate workload, outcome, and process-effort questions during portfolio review.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 3 (5%) |
| §103 only | 21 (32%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 5 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 33 (51%) |
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.
