Quicker Law, LLC focuses on Chemistry & Materials and has 23 pending office actions. The firm reports 217 career applications, a resolved allowance rate of 60.63%, and an average of 3.45 office actions per allowance.
The allowance rate shows that resolved matters reached allowance less often than they did in a portfolio with a higher reported rate, while the office-action average indicates recurring examination activity in matters that ultimately allowed. The pending docket is active relative to the recorded application base, although the figures do not identify the age or status of individual cases.
For practitioners, the data supports close attention to amendment strategy, claim support, and the expected response burden in chemistry and materials work. Historical portfolio measures should be used as context rather than as a prediction for any pending application.
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 | 8 (36%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| §112 only | 3 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (41%) |
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.
