Boardman & Clark LLP handles Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems matters and has 12 pending office actions. Its career record includes 1423 applications, creating a substantial basis for reviewing prosecution experience in this area.
The resolved allowance rate is 90.25%, and the average number of office actions per allowance is 3.14. These figures separate two practical considerations for counsel selection: the reported rate of resolved allowances and the office-action activity typically associated with obtaining one.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 4 (31%) |
| §112 only | 1 (8%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (54%) |
