True Shepherd, LLC (S) has 46 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. Its career record includes 2233 applications, a resolved allowance rate of 93.0%, and an average of 1.07 office actions per allowance.
The profile shows substantial application experience alongside active prosecution work. The resolved allowance rate provides historical outcome context, while the office-action average indicates limited examination activity associated with allowed cases. The application total establishes the scale of the record. Practitioners can use these measures to assess chemistry and materials prosecution, while keeping the unresolved docket separate from the historical allowance results.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 9 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. 9 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 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (4%) |
| §103 only | 17 (36%) |
| §102 only | 3 (6%) |
| §112 only | 4 (9%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (40%) |
