The Marbury Law Group, PLLC handles Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals matters, with 6,332 career applications and 143 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 90.16%, showing a substantial allowance outcome across a broad application record.
The average of 3.59 office actions per allowance indicates that allowed matters commonly require several examination exchanges. The pending docket also represents a continuing prosecution workload, so practitioners should distinguish historical outcome from current response obligations. The application volume gives scale to the allowance rate, while the office-action measure helps evaluate the effort associated with reaching allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 36 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. 36 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 | 1 (1%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (3%) |
| §103 only | 55 (37%) |
| §102 only | 7 (5%) |
| §112 only | 10 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 4 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 19 (13%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 46 (31%) |
| No statute on record | 2 (1%) |
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.
