The Grafe Law Office, P.C. handles Chemistry & Materials matters, with 402 career applications and 7 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 66.53%, so the prosecution record reflects a lower allowance outcome than firms with rates nearer the upper end of the available profiles.
The average of 3.04 office actions per allowance indicates that allowed matters generally involve more than one examination exchange. A practitioner reviewing this profile would likely give attention to claim drafting, amendment strategy, and response sequencing, particularly where the pending matters may require continued examination work. The application total supplies useful context for the rate, while the office-action measure describes the procedural path to allowance.
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.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 3 (43%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (14%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (43%) |
