Technology area: Chemistry & Materials
60 pending office actions • 43 clients • 58 examiners • 48 art units • 0 of 60 (0%) have an AI response strategy ready
Christensen, Fonder, Dardi & Busse PLLC focuses on Chemistry & Materials across 3838 career applications. It has 61 pending office actions, reflecting an active docket alongside a substantial historical application base.
The resolved allowance rate is 90.33%, and the average office actions per allowance is 3.37. The allowance rate describes historical resolution results, while the action average indicates that allowed matters commonly required multiple examination exchanges. For practitioners, the data supports preparing detailed responses and maintaining alternative claim positions when chemistry and materials distinctions are closely examined.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 4 (7%) |
| §103 only | 17 (28%) |
| §102 only | 4 (7%) |
| §112 only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 32 (53%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
