Wiersch IP Law practices in Chemistry & Materials and reports 3103 career applications. Six pending office actions are shown, indicating a limited current unresolved workload relative to the stated application activity. The resolved allowance rate is 85.7%, showing that allowance was recorded for a substantial share of resolved applications.
The average of 1.4 office actions per allowance indicates that matters reaching allowance generally involved limited examination activity. This action measure should not be treated as another allowance-rate measure: it describes prosecution effort, while 85.7% describes the recorded outcome. The application figure supplies scale, and the pending-action figure identifies current matters requiring prosecution attention.
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 | 2 (33%) |
| §103 only | 2 (33%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (33%) |
