DANA - MCCOY RUSSELL LLP has 27 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 9481 career applications. The application total reflects a substantial historical practice, while the pending docket shows continuing examination activity.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.4%, and the average is 2.99 office actions per allowance. Resolved matters therefore show a majority allowance outcome, with examination commonly extending across several Office actions before allowance.
These measures give practitioners two planning signals. The application history supports experience in the technology area, while the action average suggests that prosecution budgets should allow for iterative claim and argument development rather than assume immediate resolution.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (17%) |
| §102 only | 2 (8%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 17 (71%) |
