TAYLOR & EDELSTEIN has 44 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. Its record includes 2330 career applications, offering a substantial base for interpreting the active workload.
The resolved allowance rate is 85.03%, with an average of 3.11 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters commonly result in allowance, but the average indicates that prosecution often involves several examination exchanges before that outcome. Practitioners may use this profile to evaluate amendment sequencing and response planning for chemistry and materials cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 10 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. 10 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 | 16 (36%) |
| §102 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 25 (56%) |
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.
