George Morgan (Way-Insight) specializes in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area. The firm has a history with 3436 career applications, providing a large dataset for evaluating their performance. Currently, the firm is managing 14 pending office actions, indicating ongoing activity in the patent prosecution process.
The firm has a resolved allowance rate of 99.33 percent. This success rate is achieved with a low average of 1.13 office actions per allowance. This 1.13 average suggests an efficient prosecution strategy where patents are granted after few rounds of interaction with the patent office. The 99.33 percent allowance rate across 3436 career applications is an indicator of success in Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering.
With 14 pending office actions, the firm continues to apply its methods to new cases. The 3436 career applications establish a strong track record. Practitioners can view the 99.33 percent resolved allowance rate and the 1.13 average office actions per allowance as benchmarks for efficiency and probability of grant with this firm.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 3 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. 3 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 | 3 (17%) |
| §103 only | 5 (28%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 9 (50%) |
