You & IP, LLC focuses on Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, with 403 career applications. The firm currently has 18 pending office actions. It has a resolved allowance rate of 72.65 percent, which establishes its baseline performance in the life sciences sector. The firm averages 1.67 office actions per allowance, which is a very low figure for the biotechnology field.
This average of 1.67 suggests a highly streamlined prosecution process with minimal back and forth with the USPTO. While the 72.65 percent allowance rate is moderate, the efficiency indicated by the low number of office actions is a notable characteristic of the firm's practice across its 403 career applications. For practitioners, the 18 pending office actions represent an active and focused practice. The firm's ability to maintain a 72.65 percent allowance rate while averaging only 1.67 office actions per allowance across 403 career applications shows a unique approach to Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals patenting, prioritizing rapid resolution and minimal examiner interaction while still achieving a solid success rate for its clients in a technically complex field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 | 6 (23%) |
| §103 only | 6 (23%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (42%) |
