SCHOX PC has handled 3912 career applications, with a focus on Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 81.32 percent. Prosecution is efficient, averaging 2.58 office actions per allowance, which suggests an effective strategy for addressing examiner concerns in these technology areas. This efficiency provides a predictable timeline for clients seeking patent protection.
The firm currently has 45 pending office actions. This active workload is part of its 3912 career applications. The 81.32 percent allowance rate is a robust indicator of success for mechanical and e-commerce clients. With 2.58 office actions per allowance, the firm demonstrates a consistent ability to navigate the USPTO and achieve positive results without excessive delays in the prosecution timeline. This data reflects a firm with a solid track record of success and a consistent approach to securing patent grants across a significant volume of filings.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 18 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. 18 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 | 11 (19%) |
| §103 only | 17 (29%) |
| §102 only | 4 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 18 (31%) |
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.
