GOTTLIEB RACKMAN & REISMAN PC focuses its practice in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The firm has managed 3454 career applications, providing a large dataset for performance analysis. Currently, the firm is managing 11 pending office actions, showing a consistent level of ongoing activity with the patent office.
The firm maintains a resolved allowance rate of 82.88 percent. This success is achieved with a low average of 1.86 office actions per allowance. This 1.86 average indicates an efficient prosecution process, where successful applications are typically granted after few rounds of interaction with examiners. The 82.88 percent allowance rate across 3454 career applications demonstrates a strong ability to secure patent rights in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field.
The 11 pending office actions represent the firm's current active workload. With 3454 career applications, the firm has experience in its primary technical area. Clients can use the 82.88 percent resolved allowance rate and the 1.86 average office actions per allowance to understand the firm's typical speed and efficiency in reaching a patent grant.
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 | 1 (5%) |
| §103 only | 8 (42%) |
| §102 only | 2 (11%) |
| §112 only | 1 (5%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 7 (37%) |
