HYLTON-RODIC LAW PLLC focuses its patent prosecution efforts in the Chemistry & Materials technology area. The firm has managed 430 career applications, showing a specialized practice in chemical and material science patents. Its resolved allowance rate pct of 94.04 indicates an exceptionally high success rate in securing patent grants for its clients. This performance metric highlights the firm's ability to effectively communicate complex chemical concepts to patent examiners.
The firm currently has 23 pending office actions, representing its active workload before the patent office. To reach an allowance, the firm typically navigates 3.84 avg office actions per allowance. This figure indicates a thorough prosecution process that often involves multiple exchanges with the examiner. The 94.04 resolved allowance rate pct achieved across 430 career applications suggests that the firm's approach is highly effective in the Chemistry & Materials field despite the 3.84 avg office actions per allowance. These figures provide a clear benchmark for the firm's historical performance.
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 (4%) |
| §103 only | 5 (21%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 16 (67%) |
