ADE & COMPANY INC. is a patent law firm that specializes in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems, where it has managed 4291 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 82.24 percent, reflecting a track record of securing patent grants in these sectors. This volume of applications shows a depth of experience.
The firm currently has 21 pending office actions. Their prosecution history shows an average of 2.5 office actions per allowance. This metric indicates an efficient process, with the firm typically reaching an allowance through the interactions with the USPTO recorded in the data. Practitioners can interpret the 2.5 average as a sign of communication with patent examiners in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems.
The 4291 career applications provide a basis for evaluating the firm's long-term success. The 82.24 percent allowance rate and 2.5 office actions per allowance together characterize a firm that is both experienced and efficient. The 21 pending office actions represent the firm's current active docket within its primary technology area.
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 only | 1 (3%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (11%) |
| §103 only | 8 (21%) |
| §102 only | 4 (11%) |
| §112 only | 2 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 19 (50%) |
