OSAKA FRONT PATENT FIRM works in Chemistry & Materials and has 16 pending office actions across 278 career applications. The resolved allowance rate is 85.15%, indicating allowance in a substantial majority of resolved applications.
The average of 3.94 office actions per allowance indicates a relatively involved examination path within the recorded matters. Practitioners can use that measure when planning amendment and argument cycles, while the pending docket identifies the matters requiring current prosecution oversight.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 9 (60%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (33%) |
