WARE, FRESSOLA, MAGUIRE & BARBER LLP has 28 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 4894 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 78.83%, meaning that most resolved applications in the recorded portfolio reached allowance, although the figure leaves a larger unresolved or unsuccessful share than a profile with a higher allowance result.
The practice averages 3.42 office actions per allowance. Successful matters commonly require repeated examination exchanges, so applicants should plan for sustained prosecution and deliberate claim development. The application history indicates an established practice base for chemistry and materials matters.
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 | 13 (45%) |
| §112 only | 2 (7%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 12 (41%) |
