61 pending office actions • 37 clients • 56 examiners • 51 art units • 0 of 61 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
SCHOX PC reports 3938 career applications, 62 pending office actions, and a Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems focus. The application history and pending docket together show a broad practice record with substantial ongoing activity in a field spanning physical systems and digitally enabled commercial functions.
The resolved allowance rate is 81.37%, and the average is 2.56 office actions per allowance. The allowance measure provides historical outcome context, while the action average informs the level of examination activity associated with an allowance. Practitioners can use both for portfolio planning, but neither identifies the rejection grounds or technologies behind individual outcomes.
File-level analysis should examine claim construction, system interactions, prior-art distinctions, and support for functional limitations. The aggregate figures are most useful when paired with that technical review and with a clear assessment of the scope consequences of proposed amendments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 | 3 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 10 (16%) |
| §103 only | 19 (31%) |
| §102 only | 4 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (31%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
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.
