Cantor Colburn - SABIC General reports 11 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The profile is supported by a career application record of 74576, a resolved allowance rate of 88.02%, and an average of 3.15 office actions per allowance.
The current docket figure identifies active examination work for this client-specific profile, while the application total and allowance rate describe the broader reported historical record. The office-action average supplies a measure of response activity associated with allowance. Practitioners should distinguish the open workload from those broader historical indicators when planning prosecution work.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (40%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (50%) |
