The 84.55 percent allowance rate is calculated from 34213 career applications. The average of 3.82 office actions per allowance shows the prosecution efficiency for allowed cases. The 8 pending office actions represent the current active docket in chemistry.
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.
