Analysis

MOSER TABOADA has 106 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 2964 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 88.41%, with an average of 3.28 office actions per allowance.

The profile combines a substantial active docket with a broad historical application record. The allowance rate provides a resolved-outcome measure, while the office-action average indicates examination activity associated with allowances.

Practitioners can use the data to assess chemistry and materials prosecution across current workload and historical experience. The figures provide useful aggregate context for diligence, but individual applications remain necessary for evaluating claim scope, amendments, and examiner issues.

Written from this page's own data; every figure is computed from USPTO records and verified before publication.

Case Difficulty Mix

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.
