DERGOSITS & NOAH LLP is a patent law firm with 2246 career applications. The firm focuses on Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. It has achieved a resolved allowance rate pct of 85.29. This success is supported by an avg office actions per allowance of 3.5. Currently, the firm has 15 pending office actions.
The avg office actions per allowance of 3.5 indicates a prosecution environment where several rounds of dialogue with the USPTO occur. In the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering sector, such a figure reflects the necessity of technical amendments. The resolved allowance rate pct of 85.29 suggests that the firm converts a majority of its 2246 career applications into granted patents. For clients, the 15 pending office actions represent the ongoing efforts of the firm. These figures provide a baseline for understanding the firm's work in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering. The firm's 2246 career applications establish its history in the field.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 6 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. 6 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 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (17%) |
| §103 only | 9 (39%) |
| §112 only | 1 (4%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (30%) |
