Clayton, McKay & Bailey PC focuses on the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area, with a career history of 938 applications. The firm currently manages 20 pending office actions, reflecting their active participation in the patent process. This volume of 938 career applications establishes their experience in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field. The 20 pending office actions are a current snapshot of their ongoing prosecution work.
The firm has achieved a resolved allowance rate of 93.91 percent across its 938 career applications. This 93.91 percent rate indicates the frequency of allowances for the applications they handle. Prosecution requires an average of 2.97 office actions per allowance. For practitioners, this 2.97 average provides a clear expectation for the number of responses needed to secure a patent. The 20 pending office actions are processed in the context of this 93.91 percent allowance rate and 2.97 office action average. These metrics provide a detailed look at the firm's performance and efficiency in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 7 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. 7 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 | 3 (15%) |
| §101 + other | 5 (25%) |
| §103 only | 5 (25%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (15%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 3 (15%) |
