Gutwein Law-Primary handles Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering matters, with 196 career applications and 6 pending office actions. Its resolved allowance rate is 73.81%, and the average number of office actions per allowance is 2.65.
The profile combines a 73.81% resolved allowance rate with an average of 2.65 office actions per allowance. The 6 pending office actions provide a current activity measure against the 196 career applications.
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 |
|---|---|
| §103 only | 1 (17%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 5 (83%) |
