Cabinet Beau de Lomenie operates in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area, where it has handled 207 career applications. This portfolio size indicates a specialized practice with a focus on specific engineering disciplines. The firm currently manages 39 pending office actions, which represents its active workload. These figures suggest a firm that is actively engaged in the prosecution of medical and mechanical patents.
The firm achieves a resolved allowance rate pct of 73.77, providing a measure of its success in obtaining patent grants. This rate is reached with an avg_office_actions_per_allowance of 2.91, which is an efficient metric suggesting that allowances are often secured in a specific number of office actions. The 73.77 resolved allowance rate pct reflects the firm's performance in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector. With 207 career applications, the 2.91 avg_office_actions_per_allowance indicates a streamlined prosecution process. These data points offer a concise overview of the firm's efficiency and its historical outcomes.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 15 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. 15 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 | 4 (10%) |
| §103 only | 14 (35%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 1 (2%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 21 (52%) |
