BRUNET & CO. LTD. operates in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The firm has managed 398 career applications. There are 2 pending office actions currently, indicating a very small active docket.
The firm has a resolved allowance rate of 87.87 percent. This is achieved with an average of 2.52 office actions per allowance. This relatively low average indicates an efficient prosecution process for its chemistry and materials applications. The 87.87 percent allowance rate provides a baseline for the firm's success in obtaining patent grants. With only 2 pending actions, the firm's current active docket is minimal. Practitioners can view the 2.52 average as a sign of effective communication with examiners, leading to faster resolutions. The 398 career applications highlight the firm's established history in the chemistry and materials sectors.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 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.

|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (17%) |
