Analysis

Thomas W. Galvani, P.C. has 6 pending office actions in Chemistry & Materials and a career application volume of 508. Those figures place the current examination docket within a documented practice history in the same technology area.

The resolved allowance rate is 90.91%, and the average is 2.03 office actions per allowance. The first metric describes resolved outcomes, while the second describes the reported examination activity preceding allowance.

For practitioners, the 508-application history provides context for reading both performance measures. The profile supports evaluation of current docket activity alongside historical resolution data, but it does not explain the claim types, examiner issues, or individual application results behind the aggregate figures.

Written from this page's own data; every figure is computed from USPTO records and verified before publication.
