Arnall Golden Gregory LLP specializes in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The firm has handled 408 career applications and holds a resolved allowance rate pct of 89.42. This rate reflects a consistent ability to secure patent rights for its client base. The 89.42 percent allowance rate is a key indicator of the firm's effectiveness in these technical domains. Practitioners can look to this historical success rate when assessing the firm's prosecution capabilities.
The firm has 19 pending office actions awaiting resolution. Its average of 3.89 office actions per allowance provides a specific data point for evaluating the typical effort required per granted patent. This 3.89 average helps in planning for the resources and time needed during the prosecution phase. With 408 applications in its history, the firm has a documented track record of performance. The 19 pending office actions indicate the current volume of active matters the firm is pursuing at the USPTO.
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 | 2 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 4 (24%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (6%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (18%) |
