Egbert, McDaniel & Swartz, PLLC operates as a patent law firm with a focus on Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems. The firm has managed 5332 career applications, indicating a robust practice in this technical field. It maintains a resolved allowance rate of 83.43 percent, demonstrating a solid track record of successful patent acquisitions. This performance metric is a key indicator of its effectiveness in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems sector. The firm's prosecution history provides a clear data set for prospective clients.
The firm currently handles 48 pending office actions. Its average of 1.85 office actions per allowance reflects a relatively efficient prosecution strategy with minimal iterations required with the patent office. This figure, combined with the 83.43 percent allowance rate, provides a clear picture of the firm's effectiveness.

These statistics offer a transparent view of the firm's work in its primary technology area.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 14 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. 14 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 | 5 (9%) |
| §103 only | 9 (17%) |
| §102 only | 2 (4%) |
| §112 only | 6 (11%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 31 (58%) |
