Leech Tishman Fuscaldo & Lampl has 23 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 2368 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 77.78%, with an average of 3.16 office actions per allowance.
The application volume provides a substantial base for reading the resolved allowance measure. The current pending docket represents active work, while the average-action figure shows that allowed matters generally involved multiple examination exchanges. Practitioners should treat the allowance rate as a portfolio outcome measure and review individual chemistry and materials files for the issues driving those exchanges.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 6 (30%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (65%) |
