BOYLE FREDRICKSON S.C. specializes in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The firm has a large career portfolio of 7273 applications. Currently, there are 45 pending office actions under management.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 88.25 percent. On average, it takes 3.02 office actions to reach an allowance. This indicates a relatively efficient prosecution process given the broad scope of mechanical and e-commerce systems. The 88.25 percent allowance rate shows a strong ability to secure patent grants across its 7273 career applications. With 45 pending actions, the firm remains active in these sectors. The 3.02 average office actions per allowance provides a useful benchmark for practitioners to estimate the duration and complexity of the prosecution cycle. These figures demonstrate the firm's consistent performance in its primary technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 21 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. 21 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 + other | 3 (5%) |
| §103 only | 14 (23%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
| §112 only | 3 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 4 (7%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 35 (57%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
