Cherson Feldenkrais IP Law Firm LLP operates in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area with 891 career applications. The firm currently has 45 pending office actions and a resolved allowance rate of 92.8 percent.
The firm averages 0.86 office actions per allowance. This metric indicates the typical number of examiner interactions required to secure a grant. For practitioners, the 92.8 percent allowance rate and the 0.86 average office actions per allowance provide a benchmark for the expected success and the procedural steps involved in prosecuting applications within this technology sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 17 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. 17 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 (6%) |
| §103 only | 12 (23%) |
| §102 only | 2 (4%) |
| §112 only | 6 (11%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 2 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 27 (51%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (2%) |
