Botos Churchill IP Law LLP-RMD operates in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The firm has a career total of 2377 applications. There are 19 pending office actions currently being handled by the firm's practitioners.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 95.85 percent. This is achieved through an average of 4.12 office actions per allowance. This metric indicates that the firm is willing to engage in extensive prosecution cycles to achieve a grant. The 95.85 percent allowance rate is exceptionally high, suggesting a very effective approach to overcoming rejections in the medical and mechanical fields. With 19 pending actions, the firm is actively continuing its prosecution efforts. The 4.12 average office actions per allowance and the 2377 career applications provide a clear expectation for the amount of effort and time required to reach a successful outcome in these technical sectors.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 8 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. 8 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 (12%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (15%) |
| §103 only | 8 (31%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting only | 2 (8%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (31%) |
