Amundsen Davis, LLC specializes in the Chemistry & Materials technology area, having managed 921 career applications. This portfolio size indicates a strong and established presence in chemical patent prosecution. The firm currently has 6 pending office actions, suggesting a highly focused current workload.
The firm achieves an exceptional resolved allowance rate pct of 93.08, which is a very high success metric for the Chemistry & Materials sector. This is paired with an avg office actions per allowance of 2.3. This average suggests a highly efficient prosecution process that often results in an allowance after several substantive interactions with the examiner.
The 93.08 resolved allowance rate pct is a standout figure for practitioners evaluating the firm's effectiveness.

With 921 career applications and 6 pending office actions, the firm demonstrates a clear history of successful and efficient outcomes.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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.

| §101 + other | 1 (8%) |
| §103 only | 5 (42%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (17%) |
