Amatong McCoy LLC maintains an 87.55 percent resolved allowance rate in the Chemistry & Materials sector. This success rate is derived from 408 career applications, showing a consistent ability to obtain patent grants for its clients in this field.
The firm currently has 5 pending office actions. Prosecution cycles at the firm average 3.36 office actions per allowance. This figure suggests that while the firm is successful in obtaining grants, the process often involves several rounds of negotiation with the patent examiner.
The 87.55 percent allowance rate across 408 career applications indicates a reliable prosecution history. The 3.36 average office actions per allowance provides a realistic expectation for the effort required to secure allowances in the Chemistry & Materials technology area.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (14%) |
| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (14%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
