Prince Lobel Tye LLP focuses on Chemistry & Materials, where it has managed 686 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 86.9 percent, indicating its historical success in securing patent grants. This performance is achieved through a process that averages 3.5 office actions per allowance, which reflects the typical level of negotiation required in chemical prosecution.
Currently, the firm has 4 pending office actions to address. The 86.9 percent allowance rate suggests a consistent outcome for clients, while the 3.5 office actions per allowance indicate that multiple rounds of communication with the patent office are common. With 686 career applications, the firm has established a clear track record in the Chemistry & Materials sector.
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.

| §103 only | 1 (14%) |
| §112 only | 3 (43%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (14%) |
