Farber LLC specializes in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area, with 1064 career applications. The firm has achieved a resolved allowance rate pct of 91.78, indicating a very high success rate in securing patent grants. Currently, they are managing 43 pending office actions.
The prosecution process is characterized by an avg office actions per allowance of 4.54. This figure suggests that the firm frequently engages in multiple rounds of negotiation with examiners to achieve its 91.78 resolved allowance rate pct. The 1064 career applications provide a solid foundation for these performance metrics.
For the 43 pending office actions, the 4.54 avg office actions per allowance indicates a potentially longer prosecution timeline. The firm's 91.78 resolved allowance rate pct remains a strong indicator of its effectiveness in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering field.
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 only | 1 (2%) |
| §101 + other | 6 (10%) |
| §103 only | 19 (31%) |
| §102 only | 1 (2%) |
