TAYLOR & EDELSTEIN operates in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The firm has processed 2325 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 85.06 percent. This percentage shows the success rate of resolved applications in obtaining a patent. For a practitioner, this figure illustrates the firm's track record across a large volume of cases.
The firm is currently handling 33 pending office actions. The average number of office actions per allowance is 3.11. This 3.11 office actions per allowance figure reflects the amount of negotiation required for each grant. With 2325 career applications, the firm has established a broad record in its field. The 33 pending office actions represent the current workload in the examination phase.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 + other | 1 (2%) |
| §103 only | 12 (29%) |
| §102 only | 3 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (51%) |
