Edmonds & Cmaidalka, P.C. has managed 431 career applications, primarily within the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 84.0 percent for these matters. This success is achieved with an average of 3.19 office actions per allowance, which suggests the firm's approach to addressing examiner rejections.
Currently, the firm is managing 9 pending office actions. These active matters are part of the firm's broader experience with 431 total applications. The 84.0 percent allowance rate is a metric for evaluating the firm's performance in the chemistry sector. Furthermore, the 3.19 average office actions per allowance indicate the typical procedural investment required for prosecution. Practitioners can observe the firm's ongoing engagement with the patent office through these 9 pending actions and its career history. This profile provides a clear view of the firm's results in chemical sciences.
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 | 2 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (80%) |
