Li & Cai Intellectual Property Office has 1,619 career applications in Chemistry & Materials and 59 pending office actions. The profile shows a substantial application history alongside an active current docket.
The resolved allowance rate is 80.79%, and the average is 1.44 office actions per allowance. The outcome figure describes resolved allowances, while the low action average indicates that allowed matters in the reported record were associated with relatively limited office-action activity.
Practitioners can use the pending count for immediate workload planning and the historical measures for context when evaluating prosecution paths. Application-level review remains necessary to identify the arguments or amendments that produced allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 12 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. 12 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 | 25 (42%) |
| §102 only | 2 (3%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 27 (46%) |
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.
