LEWIS, BRISBOIS, BISGAARD & SMITH LLP manages a portfolio in Chemistry & Materials with 663 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 77.24 percent for applications that reach a final resolution. Achieving these results involves an average of 2.85 office actions per allowance. Currently, the firm has 8 pending office actions to address.
The 663 career applications and 77.24 percent allowance rate reflect the firm's practice in its primary technology area. The 2.85 average office actions per allowance provides a benchmark for expected examiner interaction during the patent acquisition process. These figures offer a data-grounded view of the firm's historical performance and current workload for practitioners evaluating the firm's Chemistry & Materials experience.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (7%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (36%) |
| §103 only | 3 (21%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (36%) |
