SUGHRUE-265550 has 83 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 138870 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 84.94%, showing that most resolved matters reached allowance within the associated historical record.
The average is 3.37 office actions per allowance. Successful cases therefore commonly involved multiple examination exchanges. The pending docket identifies a meaningful active workload, while the large career application base gives context to the historical outcome figures. Practitioners should use the current and historical measures together when assessing response capacity and prosecution experience.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 13 (16%) |
| §103 only | 20 (24%) |
| §102 only | 9 (11%) |
| §112 only | 2 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (1%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 34 (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.
