FERGUSON CASE ORR PATERSON LLP has 28 pending office actions in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems and 1059 career applications. The current docket reflects active work, and the application history provides a basis for evaluating historical prosecution activity.
The resolved allowance rate is 88.15%, with an average of 1.99 office actions per allowance. These figures indicate a high historical allowance share and an average prosecution path involving roughly two office-action stages. They are useful for planning, while the pending applications must still be assessed according to their individual claim and prior-art issues.
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 + other | 1 (4%) |
| §103 only | 10 (37%) |
| §102 only | 1 (4%) |
| §112 only | 5 (19%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (33%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (4%) |
