RMCK Law Group, PLC has 63 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and 1985 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 82.49%, indicating that allowance was achieved in most resolved matters, though other outcomes remain material within the record.
The firm averages 2.32 office actions per allowance. This suggests that successful matters generally require repeated examination engagement without indicating a highly extended prosecution path. The profile combines a substantial chemistry and materials application base with an active docket, giving practitioners a basis to assess both historical resolution and the operational need for ongoing office-action management.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 16 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. 16 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 only | 9 (14%) |
| §101 + other | 7 (11%) |
| §103 only | 12 (19%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 5 (8%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 24 (38%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
