Ray Quinney & Nebeker handles Chemistry & Materials matters and has 21 pending office actions. Its reported career application portfolio contains 722 applications, with an 86.9% resolved allowance rate and an average of 3.36 office actions per allowance.
The allowance rate indicates that most resolved applications reached allowance. The office-action average shows that allowed matters commonly required several examination responses, suggesting that persistence through examination is a meaningful feature of the historical record.
The pending docket represents active work within a broader application base. For chemistry and materials practitioners, these figures provide context for outcome and effort planning, but they do not identify the specific chemical technologies, claim issues, or procedural stages involved in the pending matters.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 4 (22%) |
| §103 only | 6 (33%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (33%) |
