Espatent Oy handles matters in Chemistry & Materials and records 170 career applications. Its profile includes 18 pending office actions, showing active prosecution alongside a defined application history.
The resolved allowance rate is 71.64%, and the average office actions per allowance is 4.46. The outcome measure indicates that resolved matters have reached allowance at a lower rate than profiles with higher reported rates, while the action average reflects substantial examination activity before allowance.
For practitioners, these figures make prosecution planning particularly relevant. Chemistry and materials claims may require sustained work on distinctions, support, and claim scope. The profile provides both an outcome measure and an effort measure, allowing applicants to consider not only whether matters are allowed, but also how much office-action interaction may accompany that result.
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 |
|---|---|
| §101 only | 1 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (26%) |
| §103 only | 4 (21%) |
| §102 only | 2 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (32%) |
