Hovey Williams LLP manages a large-scale patent portfolio within the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. With 9312 career applications, the firm possesses extensive experience across a broad range of mechanical and commercial technologies. Its resolved allowance rate pct of 85.18 reflects a consistent ability to secure grants across this high volume of filings. This track record indicates a stable prosecution strategy that adapts well to various examiner requirements.
The firm's current workload includes 135 pending office actions, indicating a high level of ongoing prosecution activity. On average, the firm reaches an allowance after 2.85 avg office actions per allowance. This metric provides insight into the typical duration and complexity of the negotiation process with patent examiners. For clients in Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems, the 85.18 resolved allowance rate pct and 2.85 avg office actions per allowance represent the firm's established performance standards across its 9312 career applications. These figures help practitioners assess the firm's capacity for handling high-volume intellectual property needs.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 42 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. 42 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 | 13 (9%) |
| §101 + other | 18 (12%) |
| §103 only | 37 (25%) |
| §102 only | 2 (1%) |
| §112 only | 8 (5%) |
| Double-patenting only | 3 (2%) |
| Double-patenting + other | 5 (3%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 60 (41%) |
| No statute on record | 1 (1%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
