This profile covers Chemistry & Materials and shows 8 pending office actions. The portfolio contains 1722 career applications, giving the current workload a broad historical context.
The resolved allowance rate is 83.86%, and the average is 2.62 office actions per allowance. The resolved data indicates that allowances were obtained in most matters, with more than one office action typically associated with each allowance.
This record can help practitioners frame both expected outcomes and response planning. The allowance rate supplies the outcome measure, while the action average identifies a prosecution path that generally involves repeated examination activity.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.

|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (10%) |
| §103 only | 3 (30%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (60%) |
