Summit Patents PC (Blue) has 284 career applications in Chemistry & Materials and 11 pending office actions. This record combines a developed application history with an active docket that requires continued prosecution attention.
The resolved allowance rate is 82.18%, and the average is 3.1 office actions per allowance. The figures indicate that resolved matters have reached allowance in a substantial share of cases, typically after more than one office-action event. This pairing gives practitioners two distinct lenses, outcome frequency and prosecution activity.
The profile is useful for assessing the firm’s reported work at a portfolio level. It does not show whether particular technologies, claim types, or procedural responses drove the results, so the data should inform further review rather than replace application-specific analysis.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 (8%) |
| §103 only | 5 (38%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (46%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
