HULSEY PC operates in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems technology area. The firm has managed 1281 career applications, establishing a solid record of filings in these sectors. Its resolved allowance rate pct of 72.22 provides a clear metric for its historical success in securing patent grants for its clients. This rate reflects the firm's experience in handling various mechanical and commercial patent matters.
The firm currently has 10 pending office actions, representing its active engagement with the patent office. On average, the firm receives 2.32 avg office actions per allowance. This relatively low number of actions per grant suggests an efficient path to allowance for its 1281 career applications. For practitioners, the 72.22 resolved allowance rate pct and 2.32 avg office actions per allowance serve as key indicators of the firm's prosecution efficiency and effectiveness in the Transportation, E-Commerce & Mechanical Systems field. These metrics help set expectations for the prosecution cycle.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
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 | 6 (55%) |
| §103 only | 1 (9%) |
