HYLTON-RODIC LAW PLLC has 25 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 428 career applications. The profile reflects an active prosecution practice with a meaningful unresolved workload in a technically specialized area.
The resolved allowance rate is 94.04%, and the average is 3.8 office actions per allowance. The allowance figure indicates favorable resolved outcomes, while the office-action average shows that successful prosecution can involve several examination cycles.
Practitioners may find value in disciplined docket triage, consistent treatment of recurring chemistry issues, and amendment strategies that respond to examination concerns without sacrificing commercially relevant material limitations.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 (4%) |
| §103 only | 6 (24%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 15 (60%) |
