Anglehart et al. operates in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area, with 766 career applications. This mid-sized portfolio shows a solid foundation of experience in mechanical patent law. The firm currently handles 15 pending office actions, representing its active prosecution docket.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate pct of 88.01, reflecting a high success rate for its clients. Prosecution typically involves an avg office actions per allowance of 3.09. This figure suggests that securing an allowance in this field generally requires several substantive interactions with the USPTO examiner.
For practitioners, the 88.01 resolved allowance rate pct is a key measure of the firm's effectiveness. The 3.09 avg office actions per allowance provides a realistic expectation for the prosecution timeline in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. With 766 career applications and 15 pending office actions, the firm demonstrates a consistent ability to achieve results.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 2 (10%) |
| §103 only | 3 (15%) |
| §102 only | 1 (5%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
