UB GREENSFELDER LLP manages 3615 career applications in Chemistry & Materials. The firm achieves a resolved allowance rate pct of 84.98. Prosecution typically requires 2.91 avg_office_actions_per_allowance to reach an allowance. This 2.91 avg_office_actions_per_allowance provides a clear expectation for the number of examiner interactions required to secure a patent.
The firm is currently handling 27 pending office actions. The 84.98 resolved allowance rate pct across 3615 career applications demonstrates a consistent success rate in the chemistry sector. The 2.91 avg_office_actions_per_allowance indicates an efficient prosecution strategy for materials science cases. With 27 pending office actions, the firm is actively engaged in its 3615 career applications. The 84.98 resolved allowance rate pct confirms that the firm is a reliable partner for clients seeking patent protection in the chemistry and materials domain.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 9 (24%) |
| §102 only | 2 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (55%) |
