Analysis

Forsgren Fisher McCalmont DeMarea Tysver LLP has 9 pending office actions in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering and 862 career applications. Its resolved allowance rate is 79.79%, with an average of 3.19 office actions per allowance. The profile reflects an established record in a technical area requiring coordination between device structure and mechanical function.

The allowance rate describes resolved portfolio outcomes, while the action average measures examination activity associated with allowed matters. Practitioners can use both figures when considering prosecution planning, including the need for repeated responses or amendments. The pending docket adds current workload context, but the available data does not identify outcomes for the listed pending matters.

Written from this page's own data; every figure is computed from USPTO records and verified before publication.
