CARSTENS, ALLEN & GOURLEY, LLP operates in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area with 2782 career applications. The firm is currently managing 26 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 81.27 percent.
The average of 2.85 office actions per allowance provides a measure of the prosecution timeline. This metric helps practitioners anticipate the number of responses required to achieve a patent grant. The 81.27 percent allowance rate and the 2.85 average office actions per allowance together offer a clear view of the firm's historical performance in this specific technology field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (11%) |
| §103 only | 7 (25%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| §112 only | 2 (7%) |
| Double-patenting only | 1 (4%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 3 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 11 (39%) |
