FLYNN THIEL, P.C. has 47 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 4590 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 85.37%, and allowed matters average 2.34 office actions. The record combines a large application history with a current docket and an allowance path involving relatively few recorded actions per allowed matter.
The allowance rate measures resolved outcomes across the career portfolio, whereas the action average addresses prosecution effort for matters that reached allowance. That separation is useful when assessing a chemistry and materials practice, where claim amendments and technical distinctions can affect both outcome and duration. The pending-action figure indicates present activity, while the historical measures provide context for evaluating broader prosecution performance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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 + other | 5 (11%) |
| §103 only | 14 (30%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 2 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 22 (48%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
