Dority & Manning, P.A. and Ticona LLC has 41 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials. The profile contains 28,426 career applications, allowing the open workload to be considered alongside a broad historical record.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.25%, and the average is 3.38 office actions per allowance. Resolved applications therefore show frequent allowance, but the average also indicates that examination commonly involved multiple office actions before resolution. For practitioners, the data supports separate review of pending chemistry and materials matters and the historical prosecution approach reflected in resolved cases.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 18 (50%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 13 (36%) |
