Polygon IP, LLP has 27 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 676 career applications. The firm’s current workload is supported by a substantial application history in chemistry and materials, providing context for its active docket.
The resolved allowance rate is 90.38%, and the average is 2.49 office actions per allowance. Most resolved matters reached allowance, while successful matters generally required multiple office-action events. The profile indicates a practice that combines meaningful technical prosecution experience with a favorable resolved outcome record and a measured level of examination activity before allowance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 1 (3%) |
| §103 only | 8 (28%) |
| §102 only | 4 (14%) |
| §112 only | 1 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 14 (48%) |
