Brown, Winick, Graves, Gross, Baskerville operates in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The firm has a career history of 1409 applications. Currently, there are 26 pending office actions, representing the firm's active docket.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 88.57 percent. Reaching an allowance takes an average of 3.43 office actions. This average suggests a standard prosecution cycle for mechanical and e-commerce applications, involving several rounds of communication with the USPTO. The 88.57 percent allowance rate indicates a high level of success in securing patent grants. With 26 pending actions, the firm is actively continuing its prosecution efforts. Practitioners can use the 3.43 average and the 1409 career applications to set expectations for the timeline and effort required to achieve an allowance. These figures provide a clear baseline for the firm's performance in its primary technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 11 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. 11 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.
