Additon, Pendleton & Witherspoon, P.A. focuses on Chemistry & Materials and has 8 pending office actions. Its record includes 2001 career applications, giving the reported prosecution metrics a broad historical foundation.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.01%, and applications reaching allowance have averaged 3.24 office actions. The data indicates favorable resolved outcomes in a substantial practice, with successful applications commonly requiring more than an initial examination response.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.

| §102 only | 1 (10%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
