AEON Law is a patent law firm that specializes in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering, where it has managed 1527 career applications. The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 80.38 percent, reflecting an ability to secure patent grants in these technical sectors. This volume of applications indicates expertise in mechanical and medical device patenting.
The firm currently has 17 pending office actions. Their prosecution history shows an average of 2.65 office actions per allowance. This metric suggests an interaction with the USPTO that typically involves the rounds of communication recorded in the data to reach a grant. Practitioners can interpret the 2.65 average as a sign of direct prosecution in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering.
The 1527 career applications provide a basis for evaluating the firm's long-term performance. The 80.38 percent allowance rate and 2.65 office actions per allowance together characterize a firm that is both experienced and efficient. The 17 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. 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 only | 1 (4%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (24%) |
| §103 only | 7 (28%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (28%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (4%) |
