WEAVER AUSTIN VILLENEUVE & SAMPSON LLP practices in Chemistry & Materials and has 6,899 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 81.04%, describing the recorded outcome profile across that application history.
The docket includes 22 pending office actions, while allowed matters average 3.26 office actions. The response average points to a prosecution process that may involve repeated examination before allowance, which is relevant to budgeting and docket planning.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 4 (17%) |
| §103 only | 10 (43%) |
| §112 only | 2 (9%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (30%) |
