Carmel Patent Agency handles 235 career applications in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The firm has 4 pending office actions and a resolved allowance rate of 73.15 percent.
The firm averages 1.89 office actions per allowance. This metric suggests that when applications are successful, they often reach allowance with fewer examiner interactions. For practitioners, the 73.15 percent allowance rate and the 1.89 average office actions per allowance provide a basis for evaluating the speed and success of the firm's prosecution strategy in the chemical sector.
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 (12%) |
| §103 only | 3 (38%) |
| §102 only | 2 (25%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (25%) |
