The firm has managed 401 career applications in this field, providing a clear dataset for analyzing their performance. With 8 pending office actions currently on the docket, the firm maintains an active presence in ongoing patent negotiations.
The firm demonstrates a resolved allowance rate of 90.24 percent across its 401 career applications. This rate of success is achieved with an average of 2.44 office actions per allowance. This average of 2.44 suggests a specific path from filing to grant, requiring multiple rounds of interaction with the patent office on average. The 90.24 percent allowance rate indicates the firm's ability to overcome initial rejections.

Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 4 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. 4 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 (20%) |
| §101 + other | 4 (40%) |
| §103 only | 2 (20%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 2 (20%) |
