One LLP - ADC focuses on Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering, where it has handled 485 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 77.53 percent.
The firm currently has 27 pending office actions and averages 3.73 office actions per allowance. This average of 3.73 suggests a prosecution cycle that typically involves several rounds of communication for its 485 career applications.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (12%) |
| §103 only | 14 (44%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (12%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (22%) |
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.
