DUNLAP CODDING, P.C. focuses on Chemistry & Materials and reports 23 pending office actions across 4705 career applications. The figures show an active practice supported by a substantial recorded application portfolio.
The resolved allowance rate is 71.14%, with an average of 2.94 office actions per allowance. Allowed matters therefore generally require multiple examination exchanges, while the allowance figure describes the share of resolved matters reaching allowance. The profile is useful for practitioners assessing both prosecution activity and the likely need for continued response work in chemistry and materials cases.
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.
