CANTOR COLBURN LLP-BAKER HUGHES OILFIELD operates in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area with a history of 74190 career applications. The firm currently manages 15 pending office actions for this client. A resolved allowance rate of 88.07 percent defines the frequency of successful outcomes for these filings.
The prosecution process involves an average of 3.16 office actions per allowance. This figure serves as a tool for practitioners to estimate the volume of responses necessary to reach a grant. The combination of the 88.07 percent allowance rate and the 3.16 average office actions per allowance provides a data-grounded expectation for both the likelihood of success and the procedural duration within this technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 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. 5 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 | 2 (11%) |
| §101 + other | 3 (17%) |
| §103 only | 7 (39%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 6 (33%) |
