Armis Intellectual Property Law, LLC focuses on Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The firm has managed 1621 career applications, achieving a resolved allowance rate pct of 90.55. This success rate reflects the firm's history of navigating the USPTO for its clients in these technical fields. The 90.55 percent allowance rate serves as a primary metric for evaluating the firm's historical performance in securing patent grants. Practitioners can look to this percentage as a baseline for the likelihood of success for its client base.
The firm currently has 50 pending office actions to address. On average, the firm sees 3.94 office actions per allowance. This metric provides a baseline for clients to anticipate the length and complexity of the prosecution cycle when working with this firm. The 3.94 average helps in setting expectations for the number of interactions required to reach a final decision. With 1621 applications in its history, the firm has established a clear performance record. The 50 pending actions represent the current active workload for the firm's practitioners.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 26 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. 26 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 | 3 (5%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (10%) |
| §103 only | 20 (32%) |
| §102 only | 5 (8%) |
| §112 only | 2 (3%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 25 (40%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
