DANE IP Law PC has 5 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 239 career applications. The current docket is limited, while the application record provides a broader basis for evaluating the practice.
The resolved allowance rate is 91.28%, with 1.88 office actions per allowance on average. Resolved matters therefore show a strong allowance outcome and a comparatively compact examination path within the available record.
For a prospective client, the figures point to a practice that combines relevant historical activity with efficient resolution in resolved cases. File-level review remains important, particularly where claim scope or technology-specific prior art may create a different prosecution burden.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 1 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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.
