Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP has 20,292 career applications in Chemistry & Materials and 10 pending office actions. The application history is extensive, while the pending docket is limited to the reported current matters.
The resolved allowance rate is 87.38%, and the average is 3.72 office actions per allowance. These figures show the reported resolution outcome and the office-action activity associated with allowed cases.
For practitioners, the small pending docket supports focused review of individual responses, while the larger historical record provides context for evaluating prosecution activity across Chemistry & Materials. The aggregate measures do not explain why particular applications were allowed.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 7 (70%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (30%) |
