PatShegen IP reports 59 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 1036 career applications. The active docket is substantial, and the application base gives context for evaluating prosecution outcomes in this technical area.
The resolved allowance rate is 69.18%, with an average of 2.66 office actions per allowance. The allowance rate indicates that a majority of resolved applications reached allowance, while the action average indicates that successful cases generally involved more than one examination exchange. The profile is therefore relevant to practitioners balancing current response volume with historical resolution results.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 13 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. 13 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 + other | 7 (12%) |
| §103 only | 13 (22%) |
| §112 only | 3 (5%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 6 (10%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 29 (50%) |
