KATTEN MUCHIN ROSENMAN LLP has 39 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 7887 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 78.08%, and the average office actions per allowance is 3.53. The profile presents a substantial historical application record with an active examination workload.
The current pending figure and the historical outcome measures should be read separately. The office-action average indicates repeated examination activity in resolved matters, while the allowance rate provides portfolio context rather than a case-specific forecast. Practitioners should focus on the chemical or materials features that distinguish the claims and on the support needed for amendments or arguments.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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.

| §101 + other | 3 (8%) |
| §103 only | 12 (32%) |
