SCHERRER PATENT & TRADEMARK LAW P.C. reports 820 career applications, 11 pending office actions, and a Chemistry & Materials focus. The application record is accompanied by an active workload involving subject matter where composition, process, and material-property limitations may be important.
The resolved allowance rate is 83.39%, and the average is 2.94 office actions per allowance. These figures separately inform historical resolution and examination effort. Practitioners can use them to frame resource expectations, but they do not reveal whether outcomes were driven by prior art, claim construction, written description, or process limitations.
Individual prosecution histories should therefore remain the basis for response decisions. Reviewers should test the connection between claim language and the disclosed chemistry, assess the cited references, and consider whether amendments preserve commercially relevant material or process scope.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (75%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (25%) |
