CALDWELL LLC focuses on the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area, with 2616 career applications. This number of filings demonstrates expertise and a consistent presence in these technical fields. The firm is currently managing 135 pending office actions, which represents a high level of active prosecution work. This volume of work indicates an established practice with significant ongoing activity and capacity for handling matters.
The firm reports a resolved allowance rate pct of 91.14, showing success in securing patent rights for its clients. This success is achieved with an avg_office_actions_per_allowance of 3.94, suggesting that the prosecution process often involves multiple rounds of communication with the USPTO. The 91.14 resolved allowance rate pct is a testament to the firm's effectiveness in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. With 2616 career applications, the 3.94 avg_office_actions_per_allowance provides a clear expectation for the intensity and duration of the examination phase. These data points offer a comprehensive view of the firm's performance.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 62 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. 62 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.
